Plot

A woman's fiancé played by Marcus Collins is killed by a drug dealing gang. For revenge, the woman conjures up a zombie to hunt down the gang members and kill them.

Production

Tucker and McCorkle first began working on the film shortly after meeting at an investment banking firm. [1] [4] The two decided to create their own low-budget film using Hi-8 and Mini DV video cameras, filming in public housing projects and performing editing on a personal computer. [1] McCorkle also taught himself rudimentary special effects techniques for the film, stating that "Just because we're low-budget doesn't mean it can't be realistic—at least movie-realistic." [2] Apart from being the writer, director, and make-up artist, McCorkle also served as the grip and caterer. [1]
