On their way to a rave they're organizing in an abandoned warehouse in
the middle of nowhere, Paul (Hal Hillman) and Lucio (Callum McGuire) pick
up a special kind of acid from an eccentric "chemist" (Bruce
Payne) to give all their guests an unforgettable high. And on the way they
also pick up Paul's ex Anita (Jennifer Johnson) and Lucio's
"favourite enemy" Shailene (Megan Jenkins) after a freak
accident, which should provide tensions enough already. But things really
start to go wrong once the rave's in full swing and the acid has been
distributed among all guests - everyone except Paul, Lucio, Anita and
Shailene - and they turn into flesh-eating zombies. Not a good thing, as
the zombie's block our heroes' way out of the warehouse, and not all
escape plans they come up with ... are really that good. But things really
go bad when James (Gbola Adewunmi) shows up with two bodyguards (Sam
Dunning, Savif Said) - now James is a former friend of theirs who has
actually set them up with the eccentric chemist they got the acid from -
but he did know the acid would zombify people, and has even brought his
own zombie repellent. And for some reason, he's out to have his revenge on
Paul and Lucio, and other than them, he's got a plan ...
One can't but love Acid Pit Stop for its unapologetic
B-movie approach, paired with plenty of humour that especially regarding
the film's subject matter stays largely clear of the gross-out variety,
all carried by a light-footed directorial effort. Now true, the film might
not carry any deeper meaning or even turn an entirely new page in genre
history - but it has never set out to be, and for what it is, a zombie
comedy of the party flick variety, it's really good!
