During a transfer, one of the infamous containers falls from an army truck and a substance spills out, awakening the dead from their sleep. Thus begins yet another bloody struggle between zombies and men. Classic sequel with the same style and atmosphere as the previous one; blood and a touch of irony, but this time there is the inevitable sense of "seen it before".
