Description

Horror comedy written and directed by Dan O'Bannon. Frank (James Karen) works at a medical supply warehouse in Louisville, Kentucky and attempts to impress new employee Freddy (Thom Mathews) by showing him containers of toxic gas and human remains long-abandoned by the military. However, when he accidentally unleashes the gas, they quickly discover it has the power to bring the dead back to life.

Unable to kill the reanimated corpse which is now pursuing them, they attempt to burn it at a nearby crematorium but this only causes more of the dead to rise. With the situation rapidly spiralling out of control, is there any hope of survival? The cast also includes Clu Gulager, Don Calfa and Linnea Quigley.
