Review Summaries

"A parody of the classic Night of the Living Dead, this movie is a horror/comedy set in a medical supply warehouse, a mortuary and a cemetary. Freddy is a new employee of the U-Need-A Medical Supply company and is staying late to learn the ropes from the warehouse manager. Eventually they come to the basement, where a secret is hiding: The military made a clerical error and shipped drums containing zombies to the warehouse. The bodies are contaminated with a chemical called 2-4-5 Trioxin, which the two manage to accidentally release. They discover to their horror that the smelly fumes have reanimated all the dead things in the warehouse: split dogs, butterflies pinned to a frame, and worst of all, a medical cadaver locked in a cooler. They call in the company's owner, who decides to cover the whole mess up by cutting the bodies up. This doesn't work, as the pieces still keep coming after them!"
