Zeke, Callie, Les and Hunter are four friends whose day takes a turn for the worse as everyone they have ever known suddenly transforms into aggressively murderous flesh eating freaks. The four comrades are forced to hack and slash their way through the reanimated corpses of their closest friends and loved ones, only to find themselves on the precipice of a post apocalyptic wasteland littered with monsters and the looming threat of their fellow survivors.

Review:

The opening of the film, the non-zombie introduction of characters was quite good, with perhaps the best proposal scene I have witnessed on film, it was good for a laugh. After we get through the birthday blues and the rejection, we start with the zombie part which was a satire of other zombie films where Hunter (Jacob O'Brien Mulliken) is an over-the-top hero, a role he has written for himself, i.e. he plays a writer.

The film ends without closure open for a sequel. The film suffered from its budget. It was unpolished in plot and acting. I think Jacob O'Brien Mulliken is on the right track, I felt he didn't think things through, i.e. not know where he wanted to end while he was filming.
