A man named Josh Cameron (Wings Hauser) takes his younger brother Mike (Lee Montgomery) out of the city and into the country to get away from his personal problems.
They are chased off the road by a bunch of rednecks and they hike it to a small southern town in order to call a tow truck but first they hang out at a bar but they aren't felt welcomed by the locals there as they run into the rednecks that drove them off the road but are protected by the local Sherrif named Will Stewart (Bo Hopkins) as Mike encountered a corpse near a railroad but instead they all find a homeless person sleeping there as the corpse was removed.
They stay the night at a bed and breakfast. While they are there Mike is pulled under his bed and Josh tries to look for him as he didn't witness what has happened to him and then discovers a dead little girl at an elementary school that is closed and that people are getting sick and being plagued by a chemical reaction there and are turning into zombies and the town ends up being deserted.

An interesting zombie flick setting place in good ole southern Georgia.
It does look mysterious and interesting if if the plot itself is a bit stale.
Well the story does seem mysterious at first but like any zombie flick it is just the same ole thing except these zombie's look a little creepier.

The acting is quite good as we have a terrific performance by b-film actor Wings Hauser as he really knows his craft as an actor. He is dynamic with his actions and choreography during fighting scenes too as well as his emotions towards his dead brother which looked very sad making you feel the same way if a family member of yours were just killed and you encountered it.
We can't forget about Bo Hopkins as a tough sherrif as he is usually typecast with these roles cause he's very good at portraying them.
Jody Medford is just as brilliant as the rest with her energetic performance and frightened emotions too
There's a nice supporting role by the late Marc Clement as he makes a believeable everyday troublemaking redneck and is very intimidating at wanting to pick a fight. Bless his soul.
We get a nice special appearance by Cary Guffy (Yes the little boy from Spielberg's classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind) and it's nice to see him have lines.

There are ghoulish looking corpses.

John 'Bud' Cardos knows what he's doing with this film
He shows interesting scenery and you just wonder why Lee Montgomery's character is being pulled under the bed in his guest room which helps the film going.
He also made sure that Hauser and Medford's scene's together looked good showing terrific chemistry towards one another.
There's a classic scene when a zombie creeps up behind Jody Medford's character and Hopkins shoots the zombie as it was perfect timing with the shoot.
Another good one is when the zombie's attack the car where Medford's character is hiding in.

We have some wonderful classical music by Richard Band with his sharp violin playing and other wonderful musical uinstruments and none of it was played by a synthesizer.
