is a highly entertaining satire on ethics in journalism disguised
as a B-grade genre picture — My Dinner With Andre
meets Night of The Living Dead.
Charlie is a cynical, predatory, tabloid reporter. Under his amoral
wing he places Max, an embittered journalism student eager to abandon
ethics for higher paycheques. The two reporters’ lives change
when Charlie is killed by a hit and run. However, Charlie returns
from the grave a deteriorating zombie, and convinces Max that his
“condition” is their ticket to the tabloid Big-Time.
