"It has been 38 years since anything has shaken up the genre quite like Herd."
- Eye for Film
"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's a fresh approach that brings new ideas to the genre, highlighting the drama and grisliness while making pointed commentary about people who would rather fight than help each other."
- Shadows On The Wall
"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 proffers commentary on recent and current social issues including pandemic-related and political ones while delivering relationship drama and zombie suspense."
- HorrorFuel
"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
"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
"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."
- Overly Honest Movie Reviews
"Herd maybe classed as a zombie movie, but it is much more complex and more entertaining than your standard survival thriller."
- BloodyFlix
"Herd mixes the formula up in a number of interesting ways."
