Bill Hinzman - the guy who was the first zombie in the graveyard in Night of the Living Dead - is all over this film. He is writer, director, producer, editor, actor, and cinematographer. This is another example proving that the number of times a person's name appears in the credits is directly proportional to how bad a film will be. A group of college students go on a hayride and plan to spend the night outside on the farm. On their ride, they pass a farmer pulling a stump out of the ground... the stump of the living dead!! Uh no, not really.
As the farmer is filling in the hole, for some reason he starts brushing leaves off what appears to be a plot of potting soil under which he finds a stone with pentagram carved into it. Thinking it's damn kids and their pranks, he digs it up and discovers another stone with an inscription on it about evil being buried there. Oddly enough the farmer then rips that up and pushes more soil away to reveal a wooden lid buried only inches below the surface, which he opens up to reveal Bill Hinzman who promptly pulls him into the box and takes a bite out of him. Thus begins our zombie killing spree in which Bill and everyone he kills wanders around killing people.
There is no cohesive plot. Once the zombies kill everyone in one location, they go to another and kill everyone there. That's all there is to it. There is full frontal nudity, which always surprises me as I can't understand why girls get naked for low budget films like this. The film ends by ripping off Night of the Living Dead.
One thing of note is the growling sound that accompanies the zombies. Since when do zombies growl like animals? This is not a good zombie flick, but it does have Bill Hinzman.
