(Foreign Titles)
Nomination Year: 2006
SYNOPSIS: College student brothers Josh and Mike head to the country for
a relaxing vacation. A confrontation with a pickup truck full
of rednecks leaves their car in a ditch and forces Mike to walk
around with his shirt unbuttoned for the rest of the movie.
They walk to a small town to try to get a tow, but instead find
that people are mysteriously disappearing. Mike joins the ranks
of the missing and Josh teams up with the local schoolteacher
and drunken town sheriff to try to track down the problem. Turns
out a chemical company is dumping toxic waste nearby, which is
turning the locals into bloodsucking zombies. Our heroes then
run around town and are menaced by zombies in various locations
(house, abandoned warehouse, school, public bathroom, car, etc.).
Wackiness most definitely does not ensue.
