Now that the Tribeca Film Festival is underway and the controversy surrounding “Vaxxed” has at least temporarily quelled, avail yourself of our exclusive premiere of the poster and teaser for “Here Alone.” World premiering on April 15 in the Midnight section, director Rod Blackhurst’s post-apocalyptic drama follows a woman named Ann (Lucy Walters) as she ekes out a lonely existence in the aftermath of a viral outbreak.

(No word yet on whether vaccines are responsible for the outbreak in question.)
