It’s friends to the end in the trailer for This Is Not a Test, which looks like The Breakfast Club meets 28 Days Later.
The zombie outbreak movie infects theaters on February 20 from Independent Film Company and Shudder.
Adam MacDonald (Backcountry, Pyewacket) writes and directs, based on Courtney Summers‘ 2012 young adult horror novel of the same name.
It follows Sloane and a small group of her classmates who take cover in their high school to escape their suddenly apocalyptic hometown. As danger relentlessly pounds on the doors, Sloane begins to see the world through the eyes of people who actually want to live and takes matters into her own hands.
Olivia Holt (Heart Eyes), Froy Gutierrez (The Strangers), Corteon Moore (“From”), Carson MacCormac (Clown in a Cornfield), Chloe Avakian (“Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy”), and Luke MacFarlane (Bros) star.
This Is Not a Test is rated R for “strong bloody violence, gore, suicide, language, some sexuality, and brief teen drinking.”
Daniel Kurland wrote in his review, “The melodramatic adaptation of the Courtney Summers YA novel fails to do anything new with a zombie apocalypse, despite a strong, committed performance by Olivia Holt.”
