The debut feature from French writer and director David Morlet, Mutants takes the traditional Zombie genre milieu (Morlet took his inspiration from 28 Weeks Later and the films of David Cronenberg) and introduces some interesting themes, twists and turns that apparently makes it a stand-out from the Zombie crowd. This would be so nice.

In a world devastated by a pandemic virus that turns human beings into primitive and bloodthirsty creatures, the last hope for survivors is the military station 'Noah' where scientists are researching the cure. Marco (Francis Renaud) and Sonia (Hélène De Fougerolles) set off to find the secret base to escape from the 'mutants'. When they are attacked Marco becomes contaminated and little by little begins to undergo the same changes as the other creatures. Sonia, pregnant with her first child, must somehow fight off the hordes and force herself to fight the man she once loved.

Mutants (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (£15.99) by Momentum Pictures on 10th May 2010. The only extra feature is a theatrical trailer.
