Loser Ed has a lame job, a beater car, a crappy apartment and no hope of a girlfriend. Ed doesn’t think things could get any worse for him until the day he woke up and found he had Gone Zombie. Can Ed become the zombie he was born to be?

The film stars William C. Cutting, Kelly Petering, Trista Robinson, Myles Mclane, Melissa Bacelar, Kim Sønderholm, Pedro Mendoza, Tom Nyman, Marcus Proctor, and Devorah Lynne Dishington (name of the week nominee!).

Buy the DVD on Amazon or at Brain Damage’s website.
