The film "Blood Quantum" is a zombie movie that explores themes of colonialism, racism, and extinction through the lens of an Indigenous community. The story takes place in a Mi'gmaq reserve where the community is immune to a zombie plague, and they must decide whether to let outsiders in, risking the extinction of their tribe and humanity. The film features a terrific ensemble cast, gruesome zombie dispatches, and animated chapter breaks with a comic-book aesthetic. It is a powerful entry into zombie cinema and a demonstration of how marginalized voices can revitalize a tired genre.
