Four survivors of an inexplicable zombie outbreak hole up in a shopping mall and briefly live in consumer paradise. Then a motorcycle hang break in followed by zombies. The consequences are devastating.
In George Romero’s satirical film on consumerism an American shopping mall becomes a battleground between zombies, four survivors and a looting motorcycle gang. The survivors experience the fantasy of purchasing power at the mall.
