The premise

From the land of early Peter Jackson comes another Braindead movie in bad taste. It’s the third day of shooting the low budget horror ‘Tonight They Come’ on location in the wilds of New Zealand. Director SMP is already beside himself having to work with a self-obsessed leading man and a bimbo actress when into his line of fire comes a new runner, wannabe screenwriter Wesley Pennington. Clearly an accident-prone nerd, Wesley nevertheless tries his best to fit in with the crazed cast and demented crew while falling head over heels for Susan, the set caterer. But something nasty has entered the local water supply and suddenly the zombie extras start acting like genuine members of the living dead, gore stunts looks even more authentic and actual severed limbs fly. Reel life turns real as Wesley attempts to save the day while ensuring his latest script will get made.

Horror Vault's take

When a hapless rookie runner arrives on the set of a low-budget zombie flick shooting in the New Zealand wilderness, he quickly discovers that surviving a difficult film crew may be the least of his worries. A mysterious contamination turns the zombie extras into the genuine article, blurring the line between practical effects and actual carnage in spectacularly messy fashion. Equal parts love story and splatter fest, the film wears its Bad Taste and Braindead influences proudly on its blood-soaked sleeve. Fans of irreverent Kiwi gross-out comedy will feel right at home.
