\"uJZDfxbF\"Cheesy themed vacation destination + toxic waste = zombies in Bigfoot outfits = The key to my heart.<\/p>\n

The story centers around Marla as she reluctantly accompanies her sister Carla to surprise her fianc\u00e9 after she finds out he\u2019s taken a summer job at a gimmicky lodge. When they come into contact with toxic water (a common zombie theme<\/a>), the costumed employees go a bit off script.<\/p>\n

In the event of a zombie swarm, the only thing I can think of that is worse than being turned is it happening while wearing a ridiculous uniform. I mean, if I\u2019m going to be an undead menace, I would at least like to be a scary<\/em> undead menace. But when it comes to watching a zombie swarm, it\u2019s pretty satisfying seeing the disgruntled Bigfoot impersonators of Uncle Slavko\u2019s All-American Family Lodge develop a taste for human flesh.<\/p>\n

The film has all your classic horror archetypes, but treats them in a refreshingly new way. The weird bearded guy who lives nearby knows he\u2019s the kooky neighbor. When some of the others take refuge with him and tell him to call the police, he sort of sighs and says, \u201cKid, I\u2019m an angry old man who lives in a shack in the woods. I don\u2019t have a phone.\u201d<\/p>\n
