A dark, violent meditation on a Vietnam veteran's psychological disintegration and descent into revenge, treating trauma as a kind of living death.
A Vietnam veteran, Charles Rane, returns home after years in a POW camp and is treated as a hero. He has a hard time adjusting, and things go badly. A movie about the walking dead, before that meant just flesh-eating zombies.
