This time the comedy is pretty much left behind and the story takes a different turn. It still concerns Trioxen gas, but goes in a more bizarre place.
Kent McCord stars as Colonel John Reynolds, a man who has been experimenting with 2-4-5- Trioxen to see if the dead can be made into unkillable soldiers. His son Curt (J. Trevor Edmond) is a constant thorn in his side, but he loves him anyway.
Curt steals his dad's ID card and he and his sexy girlfriend Julie (Melinda Clarke) sneak into a military base and see John working on one of his experiments. Disaster ensues and John loses his job and is going to be transferred. Curt refuses to join his father and storms out of the house with Julie.
Curt and Julie are involved in a motorcycle accident and Julie is killed. Curt uses his brain and what he saw during the experiment and he actually brings Julie back to life.
This chamges everything as Julie comes back to life, but is slowly turning into a brain eating zombie. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it actually works on all of the levels it was intended.
One really develops a sympathy for Julie and Curt. I loved the character of Julie. I knew a few young women like her back in the day, and they were always fun to be with. The rest of the cast includes Sarah Douglas, James T. Callahan, Abigail Lenz, and Michael Decker.
If you're looking for something different, you might try this movie if you haven't seen it already. After seeing it I am sorry I avoided it for almost 30 years.
