Viewing Notes

Kid ruins a perfectly good laserdisc player to make a laser gun out of it and hunts zombies. Goddamn kid. Basically a movie edited out of an unfinished zombie movie with extra scenes added. The gap in eras between the old footage and the new footage is jarringly humorous. This wants to be a FRIGHT NIGHT style movie but made with bits of burnt toast and bubblegum than any real skill.
