Plot:
When medical trials are pushed to their limits, the most extreme tests end up on St. Leonard’s Island in the North Atlantic, a re-purposed prison for some of the world’s most violent criminals. However, when one experiment goes wrong, the entire island becomes a terrifying, disease-riddled maze for desperate survivors…
Reviews:
“Inmate Zero is […] well-acted and undeniably a well-shot horror film. So don’t let the “Americanized” retitle and artwork lead to you believe Russell Owen’s take on the zombie genre is a cheapjack bore fest: it’s packed with plenty of zom-action and top-notch gore effects for horror hounds who like it bloody n’ icky.” B&S About Movies
“The zombies in Inmate Zero (or Patients of a Saint) are pretty well and convincingly animated, they look bizarre and are mostly creepy. The visual component is complemented by the sound (zombie growls, squeals, and screams), so the complete atmosphere feels quite scary.” Horror Cellar
