One
cannister of Trioxyin-5 is illegally sold
to a man Charlie Garrison (Peter
Coyote) and is killed off by zombies
along with the others who did deals with
him.
His nephew Julian (John Keefe) finds two
of them in his attic with his girlfriend
Jenny (Jenny Mollen) in which they ask
their friend Cody (Cory Hardrict) to
analyze and research the product.
Cody instead uses it as a drug which is
similar to ecstasy and tries to make
money off of it off the college campus
they attend to before the arrange a
Halloween dance there.
These people suddenly turn into brain
eating zombie's and go to the aid of two
agents Aldo Serra (Claudiu Bleont)
and Gino (Sorin Cocis) to try and wipe
out all of these zombie's before an
invasion to the city starts to happen.

We spot a sort of ok beginning that
involved Uncle Charles and other researchers Aldo and Gino in a
lab dressed in black like what you'd see in a flick as detectives looking for clues on things. It kind of also looked like a mafia type of business within what they were discussing.
They corpses lying there in which they
try to do tests on the them. Suddenly the corpses turn into zombies attacking and screaming BRAINS
but people's reactions look very lacking.
The attacking moments though looked good and fast paced. Plus good camera shots on
them biting people's heads and necks.
Then a bunch of college students are having a pool party and moments like this. All of this was supposted to make you want to join the fun but it fails miserably with strip teases, dancing and jumping into the pool. This was all too set out and unnatural.
Yet during these situations, there's a boy next door type Julian Garrison getting a devastating call that his uncle was killed in which was a nicely and naturally focused moment while this happened.
Along in the story Aldo and Gino have terrible discussions when
they try to track down the zombie's and
blast them away which looks like the moments on this resembled the stuff
off of Ghostbusters and Police Academy. More annoying situations in other scene's on them doing all of this.
Julian and Becky go to the lab where his uncle was killed in which they spot some cannisters just like what we spotted in the first two flicks. Leaves almost a creepy touch by wondering as to what might happen later on in the story.
The college students try to test a formula on Jeremy with good close up shots on Jeremy rolling his
eyes and other expressions while being
tested with this liquid. Of course things happen too fast as he spins and stuff like this. The effects looked mildly cheesy.
While they think this is a good idea to use as they sell it to other students things start to happen with some of them getting sick. This leaves a good drawing card that they will soon become zombie's.
A good natural moment does occur when the students prepare for an outfoor Halloween dance with jack o lanters and stuff like that. Made me want to join in on the fun on all that happens here. Of course when Jeremy is helping out he is coughing with his friends concerned that he is getting sick. Left a feeling that he will soon turn.
We do have a good shot on a canister of
Trioxyin-5 opening up with out favourite zombie fromt he original Tarman yelling
BRAINS but that's about the best
moments there is in this film. A classic moment while spotting this. I was hoping later on the story would become exciting but no such luck.
While some people change a good close up shots on
two people in a living room
suddenly becoming zombies saying
"BRAINS!" Yet when these zombies attack in the school it looked too corny and silly while watching the putcomes off al this.
Other situations fall flat when
the zombies go out on the street and try to come
after a woman as it looks extremely
wooden.
Also there's a scene with a bunch of
zombie's in front of a college
campus ready to attack some people as
that looked incredibly lacking. Plus some cheerleader tryouts are being attacked too. This was nothing too great to watch either.
One of the students gets scratched by a zombie as her and her boyfriend thinks these living dead people are dressed up for Halloween. While they are parked somewhere at night she changes and makes out they are lusting. This moment was totally lame brained big time.
However, there is a slightly funny situation with
both Aldo and Gino in a football field trying
to blow away zombie's while attacking
a cheerleader but yet the moments on this was
quite rusty on that too.
Some weed smokers are having discussions in their vehicle talking nonsense while driving along with a back seat passenger. I hoped would turn and kill these two as they were getting on my nerves big time.
Tarman makes another apperance when both Becky and Julian try to blow him away while he is creepily going down some stairs at the universaity. He manages to escape.
What's stupid though, later on this zombie is hitchhiking near a freeway. (I'm not kidding folks!) This really spoils the terror on this character. Whoever wrote him in this scene should be ashamed of himself.
The action piles up though when both Becky and Julian crash the party when zombies are attacking the guests and so fourth along with both Gino and Aldo as their sidekicks dressed in costumes. I found this showed decent timing for a comedy horror. Yet it doesn't save the flick from bombing.
A good touching moment when Julian tells Becky that her brother Jeremy isn't the same anymore and that she must shoot him. This is a tough decision but it worked in well to the story.
Bottom line is that I can't describe
how terrible this film is with the
performances and most of all the writing
in it. None of it is convincing at all even if
they try to make the humor and horror the
same as the first one with the zombie's
saying BRAINS!
I can see more and more why there's
remakes nowadays cause there's no
creative ideas anymore. Let's all hope
that another one won't happen. Better off
see a remake of the original one if
anything. Skip this one and watch Dance of
the Dead which has alot more
class.

The acting is very
bad and unconvincing as most of them stand out whatsoever but I will mention some of the one's that were worth mentioning here....
Aimee-Lynn Chadwick (Becky) seemed to do not too bad with her healthy good girls looks and appeal. Definitely shows off as someone whom is intelligent and can seem to try and get into her role. ALso seemed to do okay by acting emotional as well.
John Keefe (Julian Garrison) was one of the best in the cast as he had the good looks and the mature attitude. Does well reacting to stuff and showing nice upsetting actions. Plus shows off some good adrenaline when going into action or having a nice dramatic discussion on certain topics.
Cory Hardrict (Cody) seemed a little mediocre but however he tried to pull of some energy within whatever he did here. Gets into the action and excitement in each scene that he appeared in and came off well onto the camera within his whole performance.
Cain
Manoli (Jeremy) seems to be the best out of
the rest delivering some good comedy to
his part in his role since he seems to
act believeably goofy. He seemed to have performed not
too bad when he's a DJ at his booth for
the Halloween dance not feeling too well
and turning into a zombie.
Peter Coyote (Uncle Charles) delivered well even if his role was only in the beginning of this flick. Offered a somewhat cocky type of attitude and did it with good stride. On his earlier days was in more mainstream successful roles. He still knew on how to get into character like he did in this one. Bummer that he became a has been.

Many women at a pool party
take their bikini's off barebreasted.

People's heads are
bitten
Necks are bitten
Other parts are chewed up
Bloody gun shots in the head
Zombie's heads are chopped off with blood
gushing out
Plenty of blood

The composing by Aimee-Lynn
Chadwick (Yes the lead actress), Robert
Duncan and Ralph Rieckermann is the only good thing about this movie
which we have the good old classical
horror sounds along with some thumping
and banging too. Also a touch of soime deep rough sounds. Surprisingly in the terrors we hear some heavy metal guitar riffs. Wasn't great sounding though. Yet, it doesn't make the
story effective sadly.

Tarman:
Brains!
