Jake Kennedy's first feature film as writer / director tackles the zombie genre head on...and wins! 

Every...aspect of the film is pulled off so damned well. The script, the acting, and the direction of Days of Darkness are startlingly pitch perfect. You'll be laughing, screaming, engrossed, and most importantly, thoroughly entertained.

Kennedy and company have released a film that is part Day of the Dead, part Invaders From Mars, and part Carpenter's The Thing; and as a result it stands as one of the best indie horror films I've seen all year...keep your eyes on Jake Kennedy. Given a proper budget, this guy could be horror gold!

"As a fan of the genre I've seen tons of zombie films along the way, but  none have entertained me as much as DAYS OF DARKNESS.

Lucio Fulci and George Romero may forever be regarded as the 'fathers' of the zombie sub-genre... but Jake Kennedy should forever be credited for re-inventing it."

Bruno Derlin, Co-Director VISIONFEST: The Other Festival.

"It's one of the best zombie movies out there...as far as the effects, the cinematography, the editing, and every other technical aspect of this film, they were all highly professional, and at the very pinnacle of the best that independent cinema has to offer."

...with spectacular special FX—and an utterly sickening below-the-belt amputation that takes up considerable screen time and had most of the male audience looking at the floor...let’s just say that if you value your vital member, it is genuinely difficult to watch certain scenes that Kennedy’s twisted mind has come up with...Kennedy demonstrates that he is more than capable of sustaining suspense, and a palatable sense of panic.
