Synopsis: Universal Cryogenics is doing a booming business in freezing the bodies of the recently dead in the hopes of defrosting them later when science has discovered a way to cure what ails them. Things are going well until the storage facility loses its power during a storm, threatening their frozen clients. To make matters worse, a lightning strike causes the bodies to revive as homicidal zombies. What has the cryogenic lab been doing to its customers to cause this kind of change, and can they stop the zombies before their rampage goes out of control?
Cool idea...bad movie.
ACTING: Wow...the lack of talent in this flick is amazing. Linda Blair can act. Dan Haggerty can act (even though he came awful close a few times to disproving that statement). Everyone else in this movie, bad. The characters in this movie are so blatantly stereotypical, and still couldn't be pulled off convincingly.
PRODUCTION: If the movie was as good as the dvd cover is, it would have been great. The script is awful, the pacing and setting up of scenes is non-existent. Plus, due to Linda Blair coming to her senses and quitting this fiasco halfway through production, she all but vanishes from the screen and pops up in an already used clip. There are a few spots where this movie is creepy as Hell and some nifty blood and gore scenes.
ZOMBIES: Hmm...I just don't know...the zombies were blatant Halloween masks and wore suits of aluminum foil, but they seemed to work for me. Go figure. They are the typical shamblers, but really only to kill people by shaking the life out of them.
THE CAUSE: Lightning strike hitting cryogenic containers.
NUDITY: Yes.
FINAL: A zombie movie with a message...why does that seem so familiar to me? What could have been a creepy message movie is reduced to a cheesy mediocre mess of a nightmare. Linda Blair deserves much better. I hope she was paid a lot of money for this flick as the producers used her as "bait" to lure audiences in. Her name was even above the title!
RATING: 2 out of 5
