THE PLOT:

Strange things are happening on New Guinea and a reporter has been sent to investigate. They find the natives telling stories of the walking dead which is confirmed when they are attacked by zombies, the soldiers and the reporter must ban together to find the source of the virus and stay alive while doing so.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

This movie is awful on so many levels, it tries so hard to be Fulici's Zombie and fails so well. The characters are poorly written, the story is predictable and makes no sense. The dubbing was sub-cheap kung fu flick and this was really just annoying. THE CRAP-O-LANTERN.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

Kill or be killed is the way of the Jungle and this movie should be killed. This and the sequel Doctor Butcher is 100 percent pure uncut bulls***, that's right, you heard me. It can never be a movie like ZOMBI and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. Rent those two instead. THE CRAP-O-LANTERN.
