a flatly photograph live dead cheapie make in rural pennsylvania with minimal skill and talent . forget romero and this thing doesn not even manage to muster up half the entertainment value of bill hinzman laughable ( though oddly enjoyable ) 1988 rip off revenge of the living zombie ( aka flesh eater ) . about a half dozen marijuana harvest yahoos camp out in the wood be spray with a toxic chemical call dromax by a passing helicopter ( send out by some corrupt federal agent well aware of what theyre do ) . most of the pot grower start get sick by the next day and cough up blood and then become rave lunatic who kill random people for their blood . a man ( play by charles austin mccrann while the director and writer and producer and editor of toxic zombie ) go on his annual fishing trip with his very whiny and irritate wife ( beverly shapiro ) and his brother ( phillip garfinkel ) end up get catch in the middle . there also a family of four ( husband and wife and teen daughter and retard teen son ) on a camping trip that get attack and as well a a hermit and a trucker and the copter pilot and his wife and a couple of others . the drug enforcement agent ( include john amplas and star of romero martin ) show up at the very end to complicate matter . for starter and the enticing re release moniker toxic zombie be a bit misleading . this be originally film under the much more accurate title blood eater . in other word and if you like your zombie to look like zombie while you know with rot flesh make up application or even a coating of blue or gray or white or green paint to give them an undead appearance and youre sure to be disappoint by the minimal look of the ghoul here . they basically just look like dirty people . dirty unshaven hippy with a few boil on their face and to be exact . they grunt and use weapon ( basically a machete in one scene and a rock in another ) and even burn down a shack with torch at one point . the fact there be only a few of these blood hungry maniac lurk about at any give time doesn not really help the fear factor any . none pose much of a threat and be easily dispose of when the time come . as far a gore be concern and there be a couple of cheap effect and such a a hand be cut off and a head shot and an eyeball stabbing and but the gore quotient be almost as minimal a the blood eater makeup . so sadly and fellow zombie fan and all be really leave with here be an inept film that not only look ugly from an aesthetic standpoint but be also dull from an action or guilty pleasure stance . the first five minute and which should be attempt to capture our attention and consist of two camera change of a car drive down a dirt road and follow by two guy walk in the wood carry rifle . the acting be terrible and there an irritating and generic and repetitive piano score and silly dialogue not worth listen to and one out of nowhere topless shot of a woman sit by a bucket of water scrub her breast and lot of scene of people run through the wood . and out of the wood onto the road . and then back into the wood again . it probably worth a single watch for cheap movie lover and zombie film completists ( some part aren not too bad and others be amuse in a bad movie kind of way ) and but most will want to rightfully steer clear . the writer or director or producer or editor or star be an ivy league graduate ( princeton while yale law ) employ at marsh and mclennan company in the world trade center and and sadly and be kill during the september 11th terrorist attack . r. i. p. to him .
