Plot: George (Lovelock, AUTOPSY) is a hippie biker on his way to the countryside for a long weekend holiday. While stopping at a gas station, his motorcycle is accidentally hit by an attractive young girl named Edna (Galbo). The bike is rendered useless, so Edna offers him a ride, as long as they drop by her sister Katie's cottage first. The unlikely traveling companions get lost and stop at a farm for directions. There, George is greeted by a pair of employees from the experimental section of the Ministry of Agriculture as they test a new ultrasonic radiation device designed to drive parasites into killing each other. Meanwhile back at the car, Edna is violently pursued by a crazed man who appears to be already dead. After the agriculturists insure her it was merely the village loon, and the journey continues. Moments before they arrive at the cottage the same man who attacked Edna viciously murders Katie's husband. The police are quick to peg the wife as the primary suspect, and order George and Edna to remain in town during the investigation. As they lose faith in the fascist police force, the couple launches a secret investigation of their own. Suspecting the nearby agricultural experiments may be the cause of this morbid chain of events, they attempt to get more information from

 The acting is surprisingly good, and all the characters are likeable(minus the inspector)and belivable, which is rare for an old school zombie movie, the story is lacking in most parts, but overall is effective, the music is chilling, the direction and cinematography are beautiful and really add so much more to the film, the gore is there, and the ending is a total shocker.--Ian Button (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
This is truly a hidden gem. Some love it, others feel indifferent towards it. Stylishly directed with some moderate suspense this is somewhat interesting and completely watchable with an effective enough first zombie appearance and a more intriguing script than we've come to expect from zombie movies.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)

| So to say this is one of the greatest zombie films ever certainly isn't an understatement, because there simply aren't that many great zombie films out there. -- (eSplatter.com)
