    80's Horror fans will love this!!

    FINALLY got to see this movie after 2 years when it was first announced! It truly felt like George Romero meets "Fear the walking dead!" This is by far the best low budget indie zombie film I've seen in a very long time. The score is awesome and cinematically looks on point to some of the bigger budget films nowadays. The only downfall is that I wish it would of been longer. It ended and I wanted more. Here's hoping they follow up with a sequel or even prequel of some sort. For those that enjoyed the original "The Return of the living Dead" this might just be the follow up many have hoped for years..and there is a ton of Easter eggs!!

      This is the 4th movie that actor David Scott Diaz has worked with director Dustin Bacon.
    • Alternate versions
      The premiere version had an important scene deleted which showed how "Freddy" got the colt 357 gun that he uses midway through the movie. This scene was put back in the final release as it originally left a noticeable plot hole.
