From Page to Screen: This Is Not a Test — Did the Courtney Summers Adaptation Nail It? - Grave Tone: Horror Podcast

We just got home from the theatre, and we're breaking down This Is Not a Test (2026), the new zombie horror film directed by Adam McDonald and based on the beloved Courtney Summers YA novel. Meaghan read the book (and the bonus sequel novella, Please Remain Calm). Arthur has a giant zombie-kill knife on his nightstand. We are, arguably, the ideal people to review this.

This Is Not a Test just hit theatres, and we are fresh out of our seats. Based on the beloved 2012 YA novel by Canadian author Courtney Summers — rereleased in January 2026 with the sequel novella Please Remain Calm — this new zombie film is directed by Adam McDonald and stars Olivia Holt (Heart Eyes), Froy Gutierrez, Corteon Moore, Carson MacCormac, and Chloe Avakian.
