LAST RITES OF THE DEAD
screenshots from the film
Last Rites of the Dead opens on the dawn of a new plague, where the dead begin walking the earth. Unlike the mindless zombies from other films, these zombies can talk, think, and can't be killed with just a bullet to the head. When Angela (Gina Ramsden) is murdered by her psychopathic ex-boyfriend Josh (Joshua Nelson), she continues to walk the earth as one of societies new outcasts, suffering terrible discrimination, fighting cravings for human flesh, and joining a touchy-feely zombie support group. That is, until a group of undead terrorists set their sights on making her part of their new army. Meanwhile, Josh has been seduced by a group of zombie-killing militants hell bent on ridding the earth of the undead. As the inevitable clash of these two groups grows near, the bullets and entrails fly.
