Night School - DVD

Short-timing veteran LAPD cop Ethan Hawkins (Justin Long) was making his last task the proper breaking in of his new partner, reformed gangbanger Xavier Carr (Jermaine Fowler). Xavier, though, was more interested in joining the off-the-books task force run by Deputy (CM Punk)-and as he got in too deep, he'd learn the unholy reason why the rogue policemen only operated after sundown.

They work by day, take a full schedule of classes all night and somehow find time for study and an occasional date. Women in the evening curriculum at Boston's distinguished Wendell College do a lot to get ahead in life. But there's someone who will go to even greater lengths. Someone who will do anything to get a head. A killer whose m.o. is the ritualistic decapitation of victims makes terror a required course at Night School, directed by Kenneth Hughes (Casino Royale 1967) and starring Rachel Ward (The Thorn Birds; After Dark, My Sweet) in her screen debut. Leonard Mann plays the homicide lieutenant assigned to the puzzling case. He has hunches, not clues. Suspects, not evidence. And a rising body count. Finals are coming early this year at Wendell. And for those who don't make the grade, heads will roll.

The dead come back to life and eat the living. Several people barricade themselves inside a rural house in an attempt to survive the night. Outside are hordes of relentless, shambling zombies who can only be killed by a blow to the head.
