Episode 753: In The Seats With....Adam MacDonald and 'This Is Not A Test'

Sometimes it's important to buck convention....On this episode we dive into the new horror movie hitting theatres this weekend from Canada's own Adam MacDonald,  It's for 'This Is Not A Test'.Sloane (Olivia Holt)  and a small group of her classmates take cover in their high school to escape their suddenly apocalyptic hometown. As danger relentlessly pounds on the doors, Sloane begins to see the world through the eyes of people who actually want to live and takes matters into her own hands.Adapted from the book by Courtney Summers, 'This Is Not A Test' avoids the trappings of your standard teen zombie horror flick to give us something a little more psychologically severe and grounded as these young people coming of age are confronted with decisions they never even considered in their lives until now.We had the pleasure to sit down with writer/director Adam MacDonald to find out what drew him to the project, giving it more of a grounded tone, working with star Olivia Holt and so very much more.'This Is Not A Test' is in theatres now...
