FREEDOM DOES NOT STAND FOR PHARMACEUTICALS
24 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
In post Katrina days, Chandler Pharmaceutical company distributes an anti-stress drug that turns people into zombies. Charlie (David Christopher) and conspiracy DJ Aldous (Lew Temple) fight their way out of Louisiana along with company that includes Black Rain security agent and dancer Katie Ann (Emily Kaye).

Let's see. Grindhouse, New Orleans, Zombies, and Sid Haig. What is not to like? The special zombie effects went from great to cheap. Sid Haig plays a straight military character and makes his first appearance 12 minutes from the end of the film. Malcolm McDowell has a slightly less cameo role. The film had some good scenes, but not great scenes. It also had too many scenes that didn't work well. In one scene they opt to spend the night in a boat to be safe, but stay tied up to the pier. Guess how that works out? The film spent too much time showing Aldous broadcasting about Chandler Pharmacy. Instead of constantly showing the guy talking in the studio, have it play in the background while faces are being eaten. David Christopher also gave us a boring character. The tough girl character of Katie Ann fell a little short.

Not the worse zombie film out there. Just don't expect too much from the over billed stars that make cameos.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. girl/girl action. nudity (Emily Kaye)
