A pair of medical supply company employees accidentally release a toxic gas that causes the deceased to become zombies.
This was a bitter disappointment. I had heard really good things, that it was hilarious, a punk classic, and it's just... not. There's not a single joke in the whole film unless you count "ha ha, those kids are into punk sub-culture!" as a joke. And even if that were the joke, it's not funny. Nothing in this is played for laughs, not even the zombies.
They are a massive improvement evolutionarily from the Night of the Living Dead zombies as they can a) speak, b) use tools, c) solve problems, and d) run. All of which could have been mined for comedy and wasn't. It takes 45 minutes to even get to the zombies and that's over half the runtime.
It's streaming for free on Tubi but you couldn't even pay me to watch this again.
