• Set shortly after the last film, the story follows Spike as he is pulled into Sir Jimmy Crystal’s cult and drawn toward a confrontation involving Dr. Kelson and Alpha carrier Samson.
• Jack O’Connell and DaCosta describe the film’s tone as a strange, idiosyncratic pivot that challenges the notion of the infected as purely antagonists.
