Review Summaries
"The movie starts out with mayhem in the newsroom where Francine Parker (Gaylen Ross) and her lover Helicopter traffic reporter Stephen Andrews (David Emge) work. In another part of town Phildelphia SWAT team units storm a housing project filled with zombies. This is where Peter Washington (Ken Foree) and Roger Demarco (Scott H. Reiniger) meet. Roger shows up with Peter at a dock where Francine and Stephen are waiting with a helipcoter. They fly all night until they find an abandoned shopping mall and decide to take refuge from the dead marauders. From then on out we follow the characters as they immerse themseleves unabashed consumerism. This film is comically satiric within its horror base with enough gore and scares to fully give you the creeps."
Bobby Blades, Resident Scholar

"This is the sequel to Night of the Living Dead. Two SWAT officers Peter and Roger decide to take a news helicopter with friends Stephen and Francine. Zombies are slowly taking over the USA. The four spot a shopping mall (the monroeville mall) and decide to set down. Throughout the movie the four must put up with zombies, death, and biker raiders."
trevor, Resident Scholar

" This is a horrifying picture about flesh eating zombies. It takes place mainly in a mall where two military officials and two civilians take refuge. "
Timfan1, Resident Scholar
