A military unit is sent to New Guinea to shut down a faulty chemical plant and run into a couple of journalists sent to cover the plant as well as flesh eating zombies.Dubbed "the worst zombie movie ever", it really shows. There is liberal uses of stock footage, a soundtrack ripped from Goblin's Dawn of The Dead score as well as concepts and costumes. Let's not beat around the bush, it's Dawn of The Dead in New Guinea. Even the makeup fx is bad. It's like they took a bunch of crap and just put it on their face and started to walk slow. "Look at me. I'm like walking slow with crap on my face. I'm so like a zombie!" Cut to stock footage of elephants. Oh look! Boobies! Cut to stock footage of humming birds. "AAGGHHHH! I'm Totally getting attacked by a zombie!! AAAGGGHH!!" Cut to stock footage of Batman. That's almost the whole movie right there. Cut to stock footage of Leave It To Beaver.
Now, just by saying it's bad, doesn't mean it's a complete wash. Franco Garofalo does his best to work with the material given to him and the people he's working with, thus making him one of the more intriguing characters of the film. And there's boobies. And....yeah. That's it.
This movie would be good if you're really bored or you and friends want to have a laugh or two. Otherwise, if you're a collector, get this when your financially tight.
Two stars.
