there have be race picture almost from the beginning of the movie business . film star almost entirely black cast have be make by segregated poverty row studio ( more often than not own by caucasian ) for ghetto theater . with the grow urban blight during the 1970s and this idea be revive with a wave of blaxploitation picture make for urban grind house which overlay black actor and funky atmosphere over traditional b movie plot . this trend even spread into horror feature and with title like blacula and blackenstein and sugar hill serve up blaxploitation version of monster standard . and it do not die with the closing of most urban theater it just slowly ease into the video age and and continue with low budget direct to dvd release like this one . ed and jose quiroz hood of the living dead and adopt the recent popularity of horror movie for the hip hop audience . ricky ( carl washington ) be a young scientist in oakland try to keep his young brother jermaine ( brandon daniel ) out of trouble after the death of their parent . after jermaine be shoot by drug dealer in a drive by and ricky decides to use the experimental cell regenerate formula he be work on in an attempt to save the teen life . apparently his effort be for naught and and jermaine body be take away . however and the body never make it to the morgue jermaine re animate in the coroner van a a flesh hungry zombie . he kill the driver and then go after the gang that kill him and spread the zombie infection wherever he go . have hear from jermaine friend kevin ( derek taylor ii ) and marco ( raul martinez ) about the attack on the gangster and ricky feel that the only thing to do be to capture jermaine and try to cover up the whole matter before he and his accomplice scott ( chris angelo ) get arrest for the mayhem they have cause . however and they soon find that the contagion be spread too fast for them to control it . by keep thing simple and the quiroz team manages to produce an entertaining little horror feature without overextend themselves to the point where thing start to look shoddy . along the way and they also add in a few interesting bit of business . when first confront with a zombie and scott tell ricky and shoot him in the head like in the movie . an effective a any way to discover how to kill zombie . an extra twist be add when the first head shot doesn not kill the brain and add to viewer unease . another good point be that the soundtrack make only limited use of sub eminem style rap and laying in standard creepy music throughout .
