Excitement fills the air as The Asylum announces its acquisition of worldwide distribution rights for “End Times,” a thrilling post-apocalyptic horror flick written and directed by the talented Jim Towns (known for “House of Bad” and “The Possession of Anne”). This nail-biting film stars the remarkable Jamie Bernadette (renowned for “I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu” and “NCIS: New Orleans”) alongside the versatile Craig Stark (seen in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “The Hateful Eight”).
Set to begin its limited theatrical run on July 14th, “End Times” transports viewers into a dystopian Los Angeles infested with ravenous zombies, following the perilous journey of Claire and Freddie, portrayed by Bernadette and Stark respectively.

As they navigate the treacherous landscape, Freddie imparts crucial survival skills to Claire, forging an unconventional bond resembling that of a father and daughter. Together, they must evade savage gangs, cannibals, cults, and the relentless undead in their race for safety.
