Blood Quantum

“Horror movies are political” is a wisdom that verges on being a cliche, but Jeff Barnaby’s First Nations vivisection of the zombie flick is a gory reminder that those politics may not be comfortable for white suburban audiences. Michael Greyeyes plays a sheriff in a Mi’kmaq community where not only are the Indigenous people surviving the zombie plague, but they’re the only people immune to the infection.
