The first (and last time) I heard about this film was on the cover of Fangoria #82 WAYYY back in 1989/1990.
I don't think that this ever got a theatrical release as it came in on the tail end of the 80s Golden Age. It's not very original nor is it any more than a polished B-grade zombie fest. That being said, it's still a pretty fun film as long as you keep expectations low and just go with it. There are some neat special effects for the time but I imagine a lot got cut by the MPAA and we'll never see that stuff again. Sad.
Also of note are three major stars that would go on to bigger and better things and one that had already established himself by the time this debuted. Scott Grimes of Critters fame (1986) would later go on to portray Don Mularkey in the HBO Series Band of Brothers. Mark Pellegrino stars as a high school jock turned living dead corpse, he would go on to star in ABC's LOST as the mysterious Jacob character. And finally, Jon Astin aka Gomez Addams from The Addams Family! What a crowd!
