Perished

Amidst a viral outbreak, a broken man finds refuge in a storage shed in order to escape the violence, but accidentally traps himself inside. Isolated, alone and low on supplies, he is quickly stripped of all his humanity as he struggles to survive. As the days go by, the deteriorated man must rebuild his inner strength to escape, and finally confront his ultimate fear.

Directed by Stefan Androv Radanovich, Aaron McCann, Perished leans on a strong ensemble — Wayne Davies — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2011.
