Review

An animal rights group has broken into a lab to free some
victims of inhumane corporate research activities. One of
them is carrying a deadly virus. Before you know it, almost
everyone is infected with a disease that turns them into
blitheringly maniacal bloodthursty savages.

This film has something going for it, but is mainly an
update of "Dawn of the Undead". Creepy and evocative, but
ends with about 30 minutes of spewing cartridges and
bloodied faces. The extras on the DVD make you think this
is some profoundly new idea, but it's not, and it's not even
the best expression of the idea.
