This film begins with a young man by the name of "Mark" (Giles Aspen) collecting samples in the woods for a research project when he comes upon what appears to be an abandoned house. Upon further investigation, however, he finds a man's decomposing body inside the building along with a woman writhing in pain on the floor. Being the thoughtful person that he is, he immediately tries to help but is bitten by her in the attempt. Although he manages to escape from the house, from that point on his body gradually deteriorates to the point that his transition to an actual zombie takes place-along with the craving for human flesh in the process. Now rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film started off rather well but lost steam after the first 30 minutes or so to the point that everything slowed down dramatically afterward. Admittedly, Giles Aspen put in a solid performance but the film itself was simply too long for the minimal material he was given-causing the picture as a whole to suffer accordingly. Everything seemed too dull and lifeless and I have rated this film accordingly.
