Two employees at a medical supply warehouse accidentally release a toxic gas from a misplaced top-secret U.S. Army shipment, causing the dead to rise from a nearby cemetery with an insatiable hunger for human brains.
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.
