"A same sex couple trapped in a gun-toting Southern American state is the perfect environment for tension even before throwing warring factions and zombie apocalypses into the mix."

- The Hollywood News

"It has been 38 years since anything has shaken up the genre quite like Herd."

- Eye for Film

"With stellar performances by Corbin Bernsen, Ellen Adair, and Jeremy Holm, Herd offers itself up as another great example of the “new breed” of zombie fare."

- Scariest Things

"In a cinematic landscape saturated with zombie films that tend to look too much alike, Herd is a bold, introspective addition that raises pertinent questions about human nature, relationships and societal norms."

- Mulderville

"Herd maybe classed as a zombie movie, but it is much more complex and more entertaining than your standard survival thriller."

- BloodyFlix

"Herd is much like the early Romero work, as it’s actually trying to bring something new to the table as it dives into trauma and homophobia."

- Set the Tape

"Pierce's astonishing debut feature - partly because it is his first full movie and also because it deftly folds the concerns of 21st century USA into an excellent zombie/infection flick - centres around a very human story."

- Dark Eyes of London

"If you're reading between the lines, there’s a clear message: Steven Pierce is a rising director to keep an eye on. His feature debut offers a hint of the brilliance to come, and while HERD may not be the final word in zombie narratives, it’s a sure sign that Pierce is a name to remember in the cinematic universe."
