But we get more than babbling teens, there are also a pair of Interpol agents who seem so out of place that it isn't funny. Well, it is, but it's really not, they don't bring much to the table other than a pair of guns and bad comedy. They are out to retrieve the barrel and stave off any potential outbreaks, I think.

Before going any further the writing must be touched upon. In a word, awful. In addition to bad dialogue, it seems that none of the rules of the original are used, and neither is what is established in Part 4. Basically, we end up with a pair of movies that essentially, make it up as they go along. Whatever works for the moment is what they go with. I wouldn't have minded the changes in the rules from the original trilogy, if they established the new rules and stuck to them, they didn't. My favorite being when a young woman turns into a zombie after being scratched.

So, after the dullness of the first hour we start getting to the good stuff. Well, the sorta good stuff. The rave is in full swing and the drugs are being passed out like candy. Everyone starts freaking out and dying and then biting the backs off of the heads of those still alive. Why was it always the back of the head? It got a little repetitive if you ask me. I know, you didn't, yet still you read on. The Interpol screw ups arrive, in some great costumes and add some firepower to the mix. Nothing extraordinary here.

The best part of the second half would have to be the appearance of the Tarman zombie. Hearkening back to the original, the cannister opens to reveal a rotting, gooey corpse with one desire on its Trioxin soaked mind, brains! But with not much left alive, he ends up just trying to hitchhike.

Nothing special here. Much like Necropolis, I found this to be better than your average Sci Fi Original, but still not a very good film. The gore was toned down and the nudity was masked, so at least there is something to look forward to in the eventual DVD release.

Fans are sure to be disappointed, perhaps even angry. Those looking to be introduced to the zombie genre, may not choose to explore the more successful entries. Those looking for slightly entertaining low budget horror-comedy, well they may have a good time with this.

I know I sort of enjoyed them. But, to think these were intended for the big screen.....
