โ€ข
In a hospital, a doctor performs bloody experiments on mentally ill patients and terminal patients. One night, a colleague discovers him and accidentally kills him. The hospital management decides to cover up the scandal, so the bodies of the mad doctor and his victims are walled together in a room. Some years later, following an earthquake, a crack opens in the wall that closed that wing of the hospital, and the mad doctor and his guinea pigs return as zombies to seek revenge. A B-movie in every sense! It starts well and offers a few good splatter sequences, but nothing else. The leading actress is scandalous: when the director realized she couldn't pronounce more than two lines, he decided to have her wander through the entire film in her underwear and tank top, a shame she's not even particularly pretty! The plot is laughable and flimsy, the direction flat... in short, a completely negligible film.
