In 1968, along with the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia crates of a strange gas were smuggled into the country; those who inhale the gas find themselves transformed into zombies. This exact substance is used years later for military education at a Slovak school, where the children are to learn how to work with gas masks. The training isn't taken especially seriously, many of the masks don't even fit, and thus it doesn't take long before an extraordinary, though deadly serious game of cat and mouse begins. In self-defence two childhood friends defiantly take to arms, or more precisely the caretaker's electronic chain saws, and soon find themselves behaving just as savagely as the walking dead they set out to defeat.
A film produced with a miniscule budget and bags of enthusiasm, the end result is given life by the fact that its improvised nature shines through. Those with nerves of steel and an affinity for the unconventional are guaranteed their money's worth! CF
