A toxic gas leaks and turns people into flesh-eating zombies; their condition is highly contagious. A few uncontaminated people take refuge at a barbecue restaurant.
This is a kind of parody of exploitation films, yet not a standard parody because instead of looking down on the genres it mimics it enthusiastically embraces them and exacerbates its characteristics. It also metacinematically reproduces the personal viewing experience of those bygone days with all the imperfections of projection and celluloid (even a missing reel is simulated). Despite the jovial spirit and some interesting ideas, however, the film is just not that good, feeding as it does on hyper-overused situations, in a frequently tiresome and repetitive way.
