The premise

The government sets up a zombie squad after an epidemic has made the world run rampant with living corpses. The team head off to Ohio to try and find a cure but soon run into a crazy cult of zombie lovers who are set on preserving the walking dead as they believe it's God's will.

Horror Vault's take

When a zombie plague overruns civilization, the U.S. government deploys a specialized squad to tackle the crisis head-on. The team ventures to Ohio hunting for a scientific cure, but they didn't count on a fanatical religious cult standing in their way — one that views the living dead as sacred. This scrappy, gore-drenched indie pits military pragmatism against dangerous zealotry against a backdrop of relentless undead carnage. It's a cult classic that wears its low-budget ambitions proudly.
