Half Zombie. Half Demon. All Zemon!

201288 min5.2 / 10

A campy, high-energy horror-comedy that leans hard into absurdist creature design and self-aware humor rather than genuine scares or emotional depth.

A bunch of college kids accidentally unleash an evil curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into Zombie Demons, aka ZEMONS!
