Having initially surfaced in 2011 and then made more widely available the following year, writer/director John Geddes' Exit Humanity manages to be an utterly unique zombie picture due to its setting.

Taking place in the aftermath of the American Civil War, Mark Gibson's Edward Young finds himself going from one battle to another; returning home from the Civil War just as a zombie outbreak engulfs the country. With nothing left to live for and nothing left to fear, Young soon finds himself butting heads with Bill Moseley's General Williams as post-Civil War tensions bubble to the surface.

Having a zombie movie take place so far in the past - in this case the 19th century - is a novel concept in itself, but making Exit Humanity even more unique is how the film utilises the US Civil War as its backdrop and a launching point for the quarrels of mankind seen in the picture.

Throw in hordes of the walking dead alongside genre faves like Moseley, Dee Wallace, Stephen McHattie and the dulcet tones of Brian Cox, and there's clearly an intriguing proposition on the table here.
