Gerald recently hired a new mortician who is surprised to find the doors to the crematorium locked. When she asks about it, Gerald tells her there is a problem with the equipment so they aren't doing cremations so she will need to embalm the corpses.
But Gerald has a secret, which is that it's not the cremation equipment that is the problem. He just can't bring himself to do it and the room is filled with corpses. His dad had a contract with the government who would show up with with large mystery bags that they wanted burned. Gerald has been accepting the bags, but not burning them. So now he's got a room full of corpses. He's got a video camera running at all times to see if the government waste is reanimating corpses he's keeping in crematorium.
As if that isn't trouble enough, he's got a nosy half brother and the new mortician snooping around which is going to get them all in trouble. And Harold is not above some under handed shenanigans to get what he wants.
The most ridiculous point of this movie is that Gerald is giving what he calls the blood of life to the corpses. Then videotapes to see if they reanimate. If they do, he bashes their heads in to keep them from doing harm to anyone. So why not stop reanimating them? If you're just going to kill them, why go through all the hassle? It seems pretty pointless.
I like watching 3D movies in 2D because often the act of pointing odd things at inopportune times at the camera looks ridiculous - the more obvious, the more amusing it is to watch.
The lure of this movie is the living dead franchise, plus it stars Jeffrey Combs and Andrew Divoff as the two brothers. Unfortunately even though they do the best with what they have to work with, the movie isn't that great and the ending is unsatisfactory.
