When Jamie Miller and her wife, Alex Kanai, try to save their failing marriage by going on a canoe trip in rural Missouri, they find themselves stranded after an accident. Alex breaks her leg during a canoe flip and they must slowly make their way to the nearest small town for help. Upon arriving they find it has been overrun by virus-infected "Heps" and extreme right wing local militias who are battling them. The leader of one of the groups, "Big John Gruber", shuttles them to safety at his bunker where they are welcomed by a seemingly friendly group of locals, but after witnessing personal and gruesome horrors, the women know they must escape. Jamie and Alex now find themselves on the run, caught between the group that saved them, a competing militia, and the growing infected Hep threat.

This is absolutely one of the worst things ever. I would not even call it a movie as it does not deserve to be called that. A complete load of Bull 💩

Absolutely terrible. Reviews on RT for this saying anything positive are 100% fake or paid-for

Amazing cast and not your stereotypical gory, nasty slasher zombie movie. Sometimes You will get sucked into the story and forget it's even a zombie movie. Very "The Walking Deadish"

I liked that the movie wasn't that gruesome. It was more storyline. The ending was completely unexpected and as the story continued, I really liked the characters. I actually attended a premiere and met the actors and director and they were all super nice people and extremely humble.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Quite often, the factions in zombie stories cleave along class lines or ethnicity. But Herd mixes the formula up in a number of interesting ways...

Despite its best efforts, Herd unfortunately leaves the viewer wanting more thanks to a meandering plot with an unclear focus.

Rated: 3/5

Dread Central

If Herd was really about a horde of zombies, it would be going under a different title altogether. The outbreak is just an excuse to explore what happens when human beings are suddenly thrown into a pressure cooker.

Horror Queers Podcast

Herd subverts standard zombie tropes while grounding the narrative in a touching queer romance. That it all mostly works is thanks to two solid turns from Ellen Adair and Mitzi Akaha.

Joe Lipsett

Horror Queers Podcast

Herd subverts standard zombie tropes in favor of a more human-focused story, led by two solid performances from Ellen Adair and Mitzi Akaha. There's a few pacing issues, but overall this is a solid entry into the queer horror canon.
