A group of prisoners at
an isolated prison camp intoxicates
themselves by sniffing expermental
formaldehyde fumes and then plan to
escape the prison camp only to be shot
down and buried by the prison guards.
Later on, the dead bodies rise from the
ground and kills some of the prison
guards there and the rest must find a way
to protect themselves from these zombies
as they plan to destroy humankind.
This film
dedicated to the 50's & 60's zombie
flicks looks almost promising but it
really falls flat during the middle of
it's run as the story goes nowhere as
it's just zombie's terrorising prison
camp officers and nothing much more. I
rated this above a bomb for a good
performance.
Most of these
actors remained virtual unknowns but
however they pull their weight well in
the movie and deserve good credit too.
Slime oozes out of
some of the zombies.
John Hayes
is fairly passable with his work on this
one since he seems to breing nice
chemistry by making this look like a
tribute to those old black & white
zombie flicks.
He coached actress Susan Charney
very well with her sad emotions in the
film but sometimes she overly does it.
However, when he shows the cast rising
from the ground it looks quite fake and
rushed.
There are good shots on the cast playing
the zombie's when they look into a
motorhome that involves actress Susan
Charney being pitted inside.
There's also a nice picture of the misty
night with the zombies coming in to
attack.
Jaime
Mendoza-Nava has some nice echoey
sounds to the film with the synthesizer's
along with some classical playing as he
makes it sound similar to the short-lived
series The Veil
