A campy horror-comedy where a theatrical necromantic ritual accidentally unleashes flesh-eating zombies, balancing genuine scares with tongue-in-cheek humor and B-movie charm.

Six actors go to a graveyard on a remote island to act out a necromantic ritual. The ceremony works, and soon the dead are walking about and chowing down on human flesh.
