If you're developing a serum to create zombies for the US-army, you
better be extra careful when handling the vials containing ame serum ...
but when Andrea (Alexis Texas), the office slut, has sex with her sugar
daddy (Robert Heath) over the intercom, it's understandable that
concentration slips a bit, just long enough for the serum to infect a cat
and turn it into a brutal and highly contagious zombie killer, and soon,
humans are turned into (carnivorous) zombies as well, one by one. Of
course, the lab goes under complete lockdown once the zombie-plague has
broken out, and that's good ... problem is, for all those employees still
trapped inside, that's really bad, since they haven't been prepared to
fight zombies, least of all the (useless) security man (Dan Lantz), who
considers his occupation nothing but a 9 to 5 job where you go to to watch
monitors and read the newspaper all day. All he has ever received were
four days of training, doesn't find anything about zombie attacks in his
manual, and now he doesn't even know where the keys to the ammunition box
are. Only two people in the whole building actually show any signs of
competence and responsibility, the office slut of all people, and Judy
(Janice Marie), the head of the whole project who too late comes to the
realization she has done the wrong thing despite her initially benign
intentions. And when Judy gets bitten by a zombie, she does the right
thing and kills herself before she turns into one of them. Andrea on the
other side knows she can only survive if she kills all of the zombies, and
she exceeds herself and achieves just that, then and only then ends
lockdown to leave the nightmare behind her for good. But of course,
nobody cared to kill the zombie cat ... Granted, the plot of
this film is not exactly original, in fact it has already been done to
death in the last 30 years - several times. But while Bloodlust
Zombie's plot might be an old hat, director Dan Lantz's approach to
the story is not, as he fills the film with colourful characters -
director Lantz himself as the useless security guard, Lauren Todd as the
energetic and foul-mouthed temp with her foot in a cast, and co-producer
Adam Danoff as the always horny office nerd all deserve special mention -
and hilarious situations, like the all-important discussion that's
interrupted by a silent elevator ride (after all, nobody wants to talk in
an elevator) to some atrocious muzak, the many discussions the little temp
has with pretty much everybody, and the futile attempts of the security
guy to get pretty much anything done. However, the real accmoplishment
of this film is that the humour is not of the most blunt or gross-out
nature that spoils so many horror comedies but subtle enough to make the
dramatic aspects of the film work and make the film acoherent whole. Recommended,
actually.
