Doctor "S" Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies: The Movie

The Arrow reported today on a new zombie flick headed our way, calling it "a throwback to the horror films of the 50s and 60s, REEFER ZOMBIES is a black and white B movie (and proud of it) from director Bryan Ortiz." These reefer zombies have already taken the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the San Antionio Film Festival earlier this year, and looks to be well on its way to tearing up other festivals soon. Here's the official site, official Myspace page, and its own Facebook, for more information. And if it doesn't sound interesting enough already, here's the lengthy synopsis and a trailer:

"In a quiet American town, life has decidedly slowed down to a crawl. A small group of scientists have unwittingly unleashed a horrible force upon the town. Mary Jane, the all American sweetheart, parks on Make Out Hill with her boyfriend Billy Everybody. He smokes some of the reefer and is suddenly transformed into a sex- crazed reefer zombie. Just as Billy lunges forward he is pulled out of the car and thrown to ground and shot. Mary Jane looks at her brutal savior, Dr. S. Dr S. battles his way back to the city, while dragging Mary Jane behind him. While Mary Jane tries to come to grip with the possible reality of her family dead and asks Dr. S to explain how this all happened. Dr. S tells her of how he and his team developed the reefer for the military to use as a weapon, but it was too unstable. In a last ditch effort to create a more stable strain of the reefer, Dr. S tested some on himself. The reefer changed him, made him strong, but filled with an uncontrollable rage. Unable to stop himself Dr. S killed his whole team. Convincing Mary Jane there is a cure, Dr. S vows to set things right."
