After a second-rate director (Romain Duris) accepted the gig to make a big-budget remake of a cult-item Japanese zombie movie, the troubled production would get a shot in the arm-courtesy of a genuine walking dead attack and outbreak that infected cast and crew.

Widescreen; Soundtrack French; Subtitles English; making-of dicumentary; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.

Gifted med student Jill Stevenson (Melissa Searing) held controversial ideas about the viability of animal tissue grafts. Her skill-and ethical tunnel vision-didn't go unnoticed by disbarred surgeon George Roberts (Tony Todd), who facilitated her experiments, and wanted her for his cabal of mad doctors looking to bring a two-headed monstrosity to life. Shocker from Charles Band, finally completed after thought-lost negatives were recovered after two decades, co-stars Davee Youngblood. 62 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

High school can be murder. Just ask Paula (Jill Schoelen, The Stepfather). Her overprotective father disappears during a weekend hunting trip. She's being romantically pursued by Brian Woods (Donovan Leitch, The Blob), a creepy classmate who recently graduated from a mental institution. Her jealous jock boyfriend Dwight (Brad Pitt, Moneyball) is looking for any reason to his juvenile rage. The lecherous school principle Mr. Dante (Roddy McDowall, Fright Night) is after her tight student body, and her friends and teachers are rapidly falling victim to a silent, shadowy mass-murder. As the body count rises, Paula begins to suspect that any one of her reckless suitors could be the twisted killer. But unless she learns his identity soon, her high school education will quickly come to a nasty end.
