Conceived when filmmaker Emily Hagins was 12 and released when she was 15, PATHOGEN is one of the most accomplished horror movies ever made by a person before they could legally drive a car. A mysterious technology has transformed the residents of Austin, TX into flesh-craving zombies. Armed with a knife, an axe, and many pairs of flip-flops, middleschooler Dannie and her pee-wee zombie squad take to the streets to battle undead parents, teens, and even a toddler. With an impressive devotion to editing and storytelling, PATHOGEN delivers eyeball gouging, decapitations, and knife fights, along with an endearing perspective that could only originate from a teenager. AGFA + Bleeding Skull! are overjoyed to give PATHOGEN its first-ever wide release, complete with ZOMBIE GIRL: THE MOVIE—a feature-length documentary about the making of the movie.

"A TERRIFIC SOV INDIE HORROR DIRECTED BY A 13 YEAR OLD TEENAGER. WHILE ITS AMATEURISH EFFECTS ARE NO WERE NEAR THE QUALITY OF TODAYS STANDARDS IT'S STILL HOLDS UP. ALSO VS INCLUDES A VERY INFORMATIVE BTS DOCUMENTARY! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
"Pathogen is an ambitious debut by a 12-year-old, showcasing creativity despite technical flaws; a must-see for its inspiring making-of documentary."
"The film is a little slight, but watching a bunch of middle schoolers run around trying to fight zombies never gets old. Really shines in the second half. The included documentary is great as well."
"Really stilted dialog and rough acting but cool. How did a 13 year old get financing? I could get a credit card until I was 30."
"Such an amazing thing to have and own. So much heart and passion on display. Incredible filmmaker!"
"Cool stacked release,included feature length doc is a great addition."
"The fact that this was made by a 12 year old is very impressive"
"Excellent bonus documentary also."
"Pretty cool that a teenager made this movie"
"Neat little flick"
