Reviews

“Young people not only want to see zombie films, they also want to make them, and because fans of low-budget horror films, in contrast to fans of college comedy, for example, are apparently ready to watch their own kind play, the global perpetual motion machine keeps moving Mobile of the garage zombie movie. A surprising number of people are working here, and the wide open-air locations and successful effects convey both an atmosphere and, at times, the feeling of being in a B-movie. For fans of the trade. "
