The Alien Dead

The Bodies Are Dead: The Remains Live On…

198074 min3.1 / 10

A campy, low-budget creature feature that treats zombie-alligator cannibalism with tongue-in-cheek absurdity rather than genuine dread.

A meteor strikes a houseboat in the swamps near a southern town populated by Yankees with fake accents. The people on the houseboat become zombies who feed on the alligators in the swamp. Once they run out of alligators, they start going for the citizens. A local scientist tries to figure out what's happening to people once they start disappearing.
