An alien race aims to exterminate humanity by transforming a person into a zombie. It’s up to computer nerd Max Giggs, medical student Bill Johnson, and pro-wrestler John West to stop them.

Pablo Parés, Hernán Sáez, Berta Muñiz, and Walter Cornás were heavily influenced by Peter Jackson’s early films BAD TASTE(1987) and BRAINDEAD (1992), as well as Sam Raimi’s THE EVIL DEAD series (1980-1992). The friends set out to create a film in the same vein, with over-the-top practical effects, an insane storyline, and nonstop action. The outcome is a film that could easily fit into the early filmography of either of their idols.
