On his very first day working at an army surplus warehouse, poor Freddy accidentally cracks open a secret U.S. military canister—releasing a toxic nerve gas that unleashes absolute chaos. The chemical reanimates the dead, sending corpses clawing out of their graves with one unstoppable craving: human brains.
Unfortunately for the living, a group of partying teens is hanging out nearby… and the hungry undead are ready for a feast. What follows is a wild, punk‑rock horror frenzy packed with gore, dark humor, and iconic zombie mayhem.
