Nice storm effects. A considerable amount of dough went into this zombie romp, which features one of the truly delightful zombie undoings (forklift) of modern times. Apparently the big problem is that they're fleecing the big money boys and harvesting their organs to hospitals. The repartee between the security guards, weak as it is, is probably the most interesting aspect of this sorry story. We enjoyed spending a few quiet moments with them. We also enjoyed Steve's performance as Mary's sleazy, no life parasitic boyfriend. As always in a toxic zombie film, unethical business practices are the root of the problem. Not much in the way of sparks between Mary (Linda Blair) and the middle aged Davenport. Then again after her co-dependent relationship with the zombie fodder Steve, perhaps it was the kind of security she needed. The main plus of this movie is its brisk pace as a particularly vigorous brand of zombie shambles through the complex. You may find the cryozoids a bit plastic looking, and occasionally more coordinated than the classic zombie, but there's no denying they keep things moving. The dragnet style warning at the beginning, claiming that the assertions here are true is appartently meant ironically. Although many of the gags work, sometimes they are simply embarassing--witness the zombie driving away in the last scene. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Plot Summary</U></B><B>: Universal Cryogenics, Inc. To add to the appocrypha regarding Walt Disney's, Theodore Roosevelt, Howard Hughes, cryogenic fate--he's somewhere in Europe. Would God approve? Or is this Satan's work? A corpse is drained of its blood and a green fluid is substituted while anti-cryogenicists picket outside the building. There are fiduciary problems at universal cryogenics (a life extension company) which doubles as a distributor for body part donations. A customer Mr. Davenport, is promised his family will be preserved, their blood replaced with a highly conductive solution and reunited. His wife Eileen, a terminal case, will be frozen at -320 Fahrenheit, but at that very moment, a technician removes and packs her heart for transport. The doctor insures Davenport that there is no danger of electrocution, and any dire consequences. Jerry and Dr. have decided to shaft Mary and split with 77,000 each. Six months later on Halloween morning at Hillside Motel Apartments a punk denies to his girlfriend that a bank job is going down. Switch to a stickup in which a man at the register is killed. Next they pull a Kansas City National Bank robbery that goes awry with plenty of casualties including the punk and his two accomplices. One gets the impression that we'll be seeing these folks again back at universal. Joe Davenport, the father of one of the holdup men and President of Davenport Industries, is notified about his son's puncturing, and soon a stretch limo shows up at Kansas City General hospital. Against Dr. Nevin's advice, Joe gets hold of Dr. Miller, and the cryogenic suspension is arranged for his son as well. Mary (a wizened looking Linda Blair) takes care of the account. Romance blossoms for Mary and Joe as her sincere concern for him is reciprocated. Universal, meanwhile is doing a brisk business in organ harvesting--we watch him close a deal on a cerebellum. Dr. Jerry enjoys sex with a lab assistant Wanda when he should be working. The unctious Dr. Miller assures Mr. Davenport that the procedure went smoothly, when in actuality, Joe Jr. is being quietly dismembered for his useful and valuable organs. Davenport requests to see the containers where his wife and son are and is brought there but Mary tells Dr. Miller she's certain that's not Joe's container--but he denies it. Vince, the friendly security guard, shows concern for Mary. Her car won't start and Davenport is right there with his Limo. Bad weather has canceled trick or treat. The electrical storm hits Universal Cryogenics twice knocking out the auxiliary power. Vince calls the power company and then Miller. The guards (Vince and the ever complaining Mark) decide to move the containers outside to keep them as cool as possible. However, when lightning amazingly stikes each of the containers in succession, the "cryanoids" are released and Mark is the first to go. After an ugly scene with her drunk boyfriend, Mary receives a call from Vince whereupon Davenport gives her a ride back to Universal. Meanwhile another guard has met the zombies. The Kansas City power company duo arrives, followed by Mary and Davenport, with drunk and muttering Steve close on their heels. At the scene of the carnage, Davenport decks the confrontational Steve, and Mary admits that the organs they find are human organs and that she's suspected the scam since that morning. Just then, when Miller arrives to deal with them when they are rudely interrupted by his clients. Jerry admits that the fluid probably attracted the lightning, adds liquid nitrogen might freeze them again. As Jerry and Steve (armed with swords) battle the zombies and Dr. Miller tries to escape with incriminating documents. To counteract the conductive effects of the fluid, it's decided that they try to refreeze them. Vince, Mary and Davenport struggle to put together a liquid nitrogen hose system while pursued by a pack of zombies led by Davenport's zombified sociopathic son. Unfortunately, the freezing is only temporary, ad a pack of them catch up to Dr. Miller. Still sociopathic, The younger Joe attacks his father. Vince manages to pin a screeming, confused zombie on the forklift. After Komeini is freed, Miller is stuck in a chamber by riteous zombies. In spite of earlier claims about the ineffectiveness of fire, most of the zombies are consumed in fire. Memorable Line: "Call the cops!"</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
