Welcome To Kittytown [2024]

PHYSICAL MEDIA: DVD

DIRECTOR: Douglas Luciuk

WRITER: Robert Bryn Mann, Darren Zimmer

PRINCIPAL CAST: Aneurin Sheasby, Bernadette Mullin, Darren Zimmer, Robert Bryn Mann, Todd William Lewis

SYNOPSIS: Welcome to Kittytown paints a hilarious, suspenseful, and unforgettable vision of a post-apocalyptic future. After a GMO contamination reverts civilization into a wasteland dominated by a deadly green soil, Vern (Darren Zimmer), an ailing farmer, is barely surviving. When Vern learns of a possible safe haven with everything one could need, called “Kittytown”, he teams up with another survivor, Ted (Robert Bryn Mann), to find it. Together, the odd couple fight for survival against each other, the harsh upcoming winter, illness, and the ire of a psychopath (Todd Lewis), to heartbreaking, heartwarming, and delightfully laugh-out-loud results. The movie strikes a tonal balance between dark comedy and post-apocalyptic horror, with memorable characters, deft performances, and a journey you’ll want to watch over again.
