A lighthearted zombie comedy that plays with genre expectations by having its undead protagonists remain oblivious and upbeat about their condition.

Brain freeze has never been so bad once you’ve tasted Ale Cream, as four friends inadvertently eat some radioactive ice-cream, turning them into zombies. Only problem is they don’t see themselves as the undead, but as super soldiers.
