This film begins with a young boy being physically abused by his father. Twenty years later "Marvin" (Mike Botouchis) is riding in a car with his girlfriend "Sally" (Lani Ford) back to where he used to live many years earlier. It's during this time that Sally accidentally hits a man in the middle of the road and upon getting out to investigate Marvin is bitten by what appears to be a zombie. As luck would have it, a couple of people arrive on the scene and manage to rescue the two of them and take them back to a compound which has been built recently by a para-military religious cult. It's there that they are introduced to "Jeffrey" (Bob Elkins) who completely controls all of his followers and is allowed to do whatever he wants. To that extent, he has Marvin taken to a sadistic doctor of sorts who attends to his wounds while at the same time subjecting him to physical pain in order to brainwash him into compliance. Sally, on the other hand, is treated differently as Jeffrey has other plans for her. Meanwhile, hordes of zombies are lined up on the fence trying to get in the compound while members of Jeffrey's cult take turns keeping them at bay. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this could have been a really good zombie movie if the director (Jeff Dunn) knew what he was doing. Unfortunately, rather than focusing on a smooth and coherent plot, he inundated the film with one cheap special effect scene after the other-some of which were quite good while others were quite bad. Good editing could have helped immensely. Likewise, the acting talent was adequate enough but rather than improving upon it with a good script he chose to do the exact opposite by throwing in more cheap special effects and repetitive action scenes. That being said, what could have been a good film turned out to be extremely bad and I have rated it accordingly.
