The Dead Next Door (1989)

Directed by J.R. Bookwalter
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Anchor Bay)

Enthusiastic regional zombie flick set in Akron, Ohio, with plenty of blood and guts on display, but little in the way of plot or characters. The film wastes no time in getting to the good stuff: zombies are attacking and chomping on flesh within the first few minutes, and continue to do so throughout. The "Zombie Squad" are police-types who roam around killing zombies, or more often becoming victims. Their search for a cure for the zombie "virus" leads them first to Washington, DC, and ultimately to a cult operating in a high school auditorium.
