In Central America, a research expedition unearths a corpse buried in a Mayan temple. Unbeknownst to the team of archaeologists, the corpse is home to a strange worm-like alien parasite that has the ability to bring the dead back to homicidal life. Barry returns from the expedition in Belize that went bad when his fellow students and professors were murdered. His buddy Stan wants to help him get past the after effects of the trauma he’s obviously enduring but Barry just wants to unwind. That’s gonna be tough because it looks like the worms have made their way to Canada with Barry and one cool-lookin’ cheap-ass corpse is already up and walking. Blood splats, the dead start growing in number and we learn that the alien creatures have plans for the warm and livable bodies of the human race. Utilizing vacation footage, Conall Pendergast crafted a cheap zombie flick around footage that most backyard filmmakers could only dream of. Conall (as Barry) bloviates over the footage and catches us up on the shit that went down in the jungle... it’s kind of charming. A fun mix of alien invasion and zombie mayhem on a 10 dollar budget showcases plenty of fake blood and violence to cheap zombie heads and enough heart to make its limitations easier to look beyond.
