Following on from the craze that George A.Romero epitomised, J.R Bookwalter and friends created this 1989 gore fest that absolutely revelled in all that is great in Zombie films.
Plot: The dead are alive, again and the Zombie Squad (yep, they drive station wagons too) are out to find the cure to the re-animation of corpses that has ravaged the nation (the USA as usual). Travelling to the countryside to follow up on the research a scientist has begun, the squad meet a cult that believes the dead should be saved and are less than bothered by the governments crack team of Zombie killers (they're crap actually).
Watch out for some superb kill scenes-grenade in the mouth being one and a cult commando that looks like Rambo's blonde, mulleted love child. The movie was shot entirely on Super 8 film, which accounts for its similar quality to Romero's works. There's even nods to the horror greats- Raimi, Savini and Romero with characters being named after them.
Line of the Film: "It's trying to eat us, but it doesn't have a mouth. Why? Why?!"
Budget: $75,000
Gross: $?
Fun Fact: Sam Raimi actually produced this film, under the pseudonym 'The Master Cylinder'. Listen carefully for the voice talents of Mr Bruce Campbell too.
