The premise

Artie is pure bred trailer trash. He has zero ambition, is everyone's favorite punching back at school and bears the burden of his virginity in silence. And then April moves out of the state. She's his best friend and support since kindergarten and the love of his life. Three years later Artie finally has the courage to take to the road and go see April to tell her how he feels about her. One car-crash later Artie wakes up in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. But this time he's not going to hide. Artie's love for April doesn't give him wings, but does give him the courage to hack, slash, punch and kick himself a part towards the girl he loves. Time is of the essence, because that bite on his hand will make the difference between a French kiss and a bite out of April's brains.

Horror Vault's take

Artie is an aimless, lovable loser who finally works up the nerve to hit the road and confess his feelings to his childhood best friend April — only to crash headlong into a full-blown zombie apocalypse. What should have been a simple declaration of love becomes a desperate, blood-soaked cross-country mission against undead hordes and a ticking biological clock. April Apocalypse mashes teen rom-com earnestness with splatter-happy zombie mayhem, leaning hard into its scrappy, low-budget charm. It's a race against time where the real monster might just be Artie's own hesitation.
