The President reinstates the Florida militia after Hurricane Xiora tears apart the Florida Panhandle. The militia has orders to shoot any looter on sight and when they track one through the swamp, they carry out those orders. It’s a hell of a mistake because he just so happens to be the grandson of a powerful voodoo queen. She quickly dispatches the trio of killers with her voodoo skills. When his men don’t report back, the head of the militia sends out a small group of his soldiers to see what the hell happened. The small platoon heads into the swamps with a reporter and get more than they bargained for when they capture a cheery young woman who is actually the voodoo queen in disguise. One by one the militia members are picked off. There’s a whole bunch of walking, followed by breaks from walking filled with talking and then even more walking. Off screen homicides are the name of the game and a zombie shows up and does nothing with nine minutes left. Oh and look out for the exciting conversations about militia protocol and philosophical debating about shooting looters. The delightful Debra Cassano (Scalped!) plays one of the soldiers and every female cast member with any screen time gets naked. There’s a little SOV charm and some laughable ineptness but not much else. It’s the cinematic equivalent to a long hike with friends who, by the end, you realize you just don’t like anymore.
