When two bumbling employees at a medical supply warehouse accidentally release a deadly gas into the air, the vapors cause the dead to rise again as zombies.
Punk rock energy and neon-soaked absurdity collide in this chaotic, darkly funny riot. Forget your typical slow-moving monsters, because these fast-moving ghouls crave brains and a killer soundtrack.
