Reviews
Extremely low budget ($12,000) take on Night of the Living Dead, this is a pretty dull movie with terrible dialogue and bad sound design along with the acting, which I can forgive since these were likely friends or family of the filmmakers. Nothing to write home about and not worth the time even with its 73-minute running time. **1.75/5**
