Been doing a lot of historical stuff lately, figured this might be fun to do.

Pandemic: Army of the Cross, directed by George Romero, Danny Boyle, and in his first directors role, Garth Ennis. The Movie's plot revolves around a Light Infantry Battalion of American International Revolutionary Army soldiers as they are forced to deal with a worldwide pandemic that turns people into homicidal psychopaths known as the "Crossed" due to the cross shaped rashes that form on one's face when infected. The movie's description can be read here.
"
As a new disease turns people into sadistic, laughing killers, in Boston, a battalion of light infantry struggles to maintain order. As the numbers of infected grow, the battalion loses control, and the soldiers find themselves fighting for their lives against the very people they once swore an oath to protect.
During the ensuing collapse, the lost battalion learns the Army is still holding out in Florida, which has been cleared of the Infected. Harry Lee, its commander, decides the only hope for his men is to get there. But first they must cross more than a thousand miles of America that has been turned into a war zone, fighting a fearless, implacable, and merciless enemy."
The film starred Idris Elba, Eric Bana, Jeremy Renner, James Badge Dale, Chris Pratt, Joel Edgerton,, and Rose Byrne, and was critically acclaimed for it's fast paced action, gritty horror, and innovative infected.
