Hahaha now this was a fun flick, Treat Williams, who looks Strangely like Bill Pullman, is pretty cool here. Piscopo looks solid n buffed and apart from the non funny lines its a great blast. Wicked 80's style everything, effects, clothes, cars etc...Steve Johnson did the effects...( read more)

I usually love a crime story that veers into horror territory, but this missed the target somewhat. Still, sometimes just the effort needs some applause.

Low on quality, high on fun. Ignore the awful acting and nonsensical plot and instead reveal in the cheesy dialogue and pretty impressive effects.

Mindless but harmless zombie/buddy-cop comedy has, surprisingly, good performances from the two leads (well, Williams is usually good, but Piscopo was a surprise) and a good turn from Vincent Price in one of his later roles.

Fun mindless zombie epic! it's a horror action comedy with Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo as a couple of cops kicking the asses of many zombies while one of them has many hours before he can die.
It's 48 Hours meets Re-Animator, it's great fun. -

A totally guilty pleasure. Gotta love the reanimated chinese restaurant scene.
This film will probably be held in higher esteem if you saw, and loved it, as a kid...
