Storyline

A low-budget film about zombies soon features the best cast money could not buy, but the problem is that the new actors are not exactly getting along with the crew. Everyone involved is soon receiving a lesson in the merits of perseverance, the preciousness of family bonds and of course the dangers of the living dead. Written by aghaemi

Laughing therapy
2 December 2018 | by supandibudiSee all my reviews

A bit confused at first, since we don't know what to expect.. but man.. half way through, we GOT it and we couldn't stop laughing.. we even still laughing hard just thinking about it. This movie is pure genius. Highly recommend especially for those who love comedy.
