As a zombie-riddled Los Angeles erupts in chaos, two co-workers bump into each other beneath the city on an abandoned subway platform. One of them makes a confession, the other makes a move, and both try to escape alive.

Deep Dish Apocalypse, which has its world premiere at this year’s Dances with Films festival in Hollywood, is a delightfully comedic film from director David Codeglia and writer  Trey Nichols.

The film stars Emily Bell as Traci, a woman arriving on a subway platform with her bloody tennis racket. She is soon joined by an old friend named Doug (Ron Morehouse) who wanders into the same station. The two discuss the chaos going on up on the surface. Traci tells Doug about how she forced to kill her boyfriend Josh. As someone who “never really liked” Josh, Doug is thrilled to hear this and excitedly looks forward to the possibility of “re-populating the earth” with Traci.

Deep Dish Apocalypse is humorous but not laugh-out-loud hilarity. That said, I still found it to be well written. The source/transmission of the virus is very clever as is the banter between Traci and Doug.

An entertaining and amusing tale about zombies (don’t call them walkers), Tiny Caesar’s Pizza, and waiting for a train, Deep Dish Apocalypse is worth ordering up.
