The dead are coming back to life and almost all of Earth's population is decimated due to a zombie virus, except for the isolated Mi'kmaq reserve of Red Crow, whose indigenous inhabitants are strangely immune to the zombie plague.

Critics Consensus

Blood Quantum blends bloody horror with sociopolitical subtext, taking a fresh bite out of the crowded zombie genre in the bargain.

3.5/5

Barnaby's film rejects the default white gaze of so many horror films, choosing to tell a story through an unapologetically Indigenous lens.

Blood Quantum seamlessly balances two very different things; it's proudly and unambiguously political, while simultaneously being just a banger of genre film.

Filmmaker Jeff Barnaby is taking aim at colonization and the subjugation of native and indigenous peoples, and he's splattering those considerations with a hot burst of arterial blood.

Even though Blood Quantum was a solid swing at reviving them, zombies movies will have to stay dead for now.

Befitting its title, this movie is awash in blood, and it isn't afraid to show us some truly gnarly images. I just wish it'd gone as far with the social commentary.

Yes, it's another zombie outbreak movie. But this one takes place on a Native American reservation up near Quebec, Canada, during the early '80s. So the small-town, rural setting with none of the modern computer technology we know today gives the story a slightly different spin on the genre, kind of like how George Romero created the setting for the first Night of the Living Dead movie.

A fresh, sociopolitical approach to the bloated and decaying horror subgenre. Solid performances from the cast and a story with razor sharp commentary on the history of the indigenous people of this country that’s literally impossible to miss; makes this film much more important than your run of the mill horror story. VFX and cinematography are phenomenal in this film as well. We need more stories and films that center around the indigenous communities in this country for sure. It’s LOOOONG overdue….

A decent zombie flick with an interesting starting premise. I'm not sure the character dynamics really worked or meshed well but the kills were good and the violence was bloody.

It is really nice have Native Americans being the only ones immune to the zombie outbreak in this zombie movie. This is pretty clearly a low budget movie, and some of the acting in it really shows, especially some of the side characters. Some of the kills and deaths in this film are really cool. This movie should be marked as a tragedy, because the story is pretty bleak, and some of the story beats I was not to fond of. If you love zombie films, this is worth a look.
