This film essentially begins with a treasure hunter by the name of "Paul Giles" (Christopher Schwandt) finding the grave of an infamous cult leader named Brandon LaCroix and failing to heed the precise instructions of his employer picking up the skull to view it. When he does that an evil curse changes him into a flesh eating zombie. Meanwhile, not too far away six young adults have decided to go to an old cabin for the weekend and hang out. While driving there, however, they accidentally hit Paul not realizing what he has become. And upon checking him out one of the young ladies named "Sara" (Donna Flacks) is bitten by him. Naturally, they immediately drive to the cabin in order to call for medical assistance but in the meantime Paul has stumbled upon other campers in a nearby recreation park which has caused the zombie population to substantially increase. Not only that, but Sara is also beginning to change which creates other problems for those in the cabin as well. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this zombie movie had its usual share of problems that most low-budget productions of this sort typically experience. For starters, the makeup and special effects were rather cheap-looking and the acting for the most part could have also used some improvement. Having said that, however, there were some good scenes here and there and the director (Tommy Brunswick) at least deserves some credit for not ruining it completely by making it into a trashy zom-com and for that reason I have cut it a little slack and rated it as just below average.

I have a soft spot for indie productions with zero budgets. Zombies attack? They obviously choose the backwoods. Why would anyone ever go hiking in the US of A? The backwoods are full of zombies or aliens.
Plot
Zombies attack in the backwoods meets Robot Bloch's the skull.
Score, sounds a bit like dead island.
It is very nicely shot. The image is clearly 1080p. .
Overall if you love hokum this is going to be your movie. It is available now now Amazon Prime. Though this may not be Dawn of the dead it is at least as good as Zombie Chronicles.

The spots for location was perfect I feel like between the location and the cast the special effects the all around cast couldn't have been better it was well put together the director was spot on and knowing what she wanted to put on film for the world to watch the vision that Tommy Brunswick was seeing in this bloody killer thriller horror movie was awesome I loved the special effects as well the zombies seemed realistic and dead to the world like I said before the cast couldn't have been better the killing scenes was the cherry on the top seeing blood everywhere was just what I was looking for in a decent horror movie.
