A falling meteor turns houseboat dwelling hicks into flesh munching zombies.

A senseless mess that will have you screaming for sedation.

Cheaply made by the inept master of quick flicks and maybe one of his better ones. A tired looking Buster Crabbe makes a flash (ha ha) appearance and shows the rest of the cast up in the acting department and most of it is set in a dense (you bet!) swamp with listless zombies that wear rubber washing up gloves and really loud shirts.

They hassle a few low life actors and fuck ‘em in a river (Good). The police are called and are baffled by the whole thing (join the club) and the women stare, point and scream.

The zombies at least go “Uuuaarrghh” and the cheap FX are proof that this was shot in a day and Fred don’t care.

Besides, you seen it all before. To some, this will be a complete turd and will get switched off before the ‘finale’ arrives. How it got finished and released is a good question.
