The Verdict

A radioactive leak contaminates an entire town, transforming its citizens into bloodthirsty zombies. The army is sent to the scene to remedy the situation.

A radioactive leak contaminates an entire town, transforming its citizens into bloodthirsty zombies. The army is sent to the scene to remedy the situation. Classic zombie-movie plot for a film that, apart from a few good splatter sequences (still too few compared to those expected in a film of this genre), offers little or nothing. Imbued with a pervasive sense of déjà vu; avoidable.
