Mulberry Street (film)

Mulberry Street (also released as Zombie Virus on Mulberry Street) is a 2006 American horror film directed by Jim Mickle and written by Mickle and Nick Damici, who also stars.

Set on Mulberry Street in Manhattan, the film follows a group of apartment-building residents as a rapidly spreading infection turns people into rat-like, zombie-style creatures and forces the survivors to barricade themselves against the outbreak. The film’s cast includes Kim Blair, Ron Brice, Bo Corre, Tim House, and Larry Fessenden.

Mulberry Street premiered at the Stockholm International Film Festival on November 16, 2006, and was later released theatrically in the United States by After Dark Films as part of the 8 Films to Die For lineup on November 9, 2007, before a direct-to-video release on March 18, 2008. Produced on a reported budget of $60,000, the film received generally positive reviews, with critics noting its low-budget efficiency, character work, and themes of gentrification.
