Somehow, Eric (Mike Stanley), a reformed drug addict, gets his hands on
Doxitol, a drug that can not only grow back severed limbs but also bring
one back from the dead (as a thinking person, not as a zombie). Apparently
unaware of the scope of possibilities a drug like this could offer, he
uses his stash of Doxitol to pay off Tony (Rob Binge), a gangster he owes
money to. Tony sees all kinds of possibilities concernint Doxitol, so he
has Eric killed. But of course, Eric is still on Doxitol and thus comes
back to life and kills Tony, then goes after Doug (Dave Hildwein), the
hitman who Tony has hired to kill him, to find out where he and Tony have
hidden the Doxitol. Rather stupidly though, Eric gives away way too much
information about Doxitol, then forgets to kill Doug - which would only be
fair after Doug has killed him. So Doug brings Tony back to life, and the
two go after Eric and kill him again. Again, Eric comes back to life, and
now he goes after Tony again, shoots him ... and stays with him to make
sure that he gets shot again and again until the Doxitol wears off. Then
he poisons Doug with some Doxitol gone bad ... Cheaply made
trash horror that, considering that there is almost endless talk about
zombies, is very short on zombie action, instead tells a gangster/revenge
plot that doesn't go too well with the supernatural elements and that ends
on a disappointingly underwhelming finale. Usually, I would just call a
film like this utter trash, but interestingly, director Mike Stanley does
show promise as a filmmaker in certain scenes. Sure, he totally botched up
a car chase scene that can be described as erratic if one chooses to be
nice, but there are several sequences thrown into the film that seem to
come right out of an experimental flick and that give the film a rather
unique mood. This all doesn't save the move as an overall experience, but
it at least makes it a bit more interesting than one would expect it to
be.
