It's our first Hindi zombie film! The last time our zombie hunt took us to Asia, it was in the racist, American-produced REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES (1936); now we finally have a chance to see what Indian filmmakers do with the zombie. What unfolds is a strangely compelling fusion of erotic thriller and supernatural revenge story, in which a good-hearted scientist falls prey to the machinations of a femme fatale. If only she'd known he was researching a zombification formula, she might have chosen a different target for her scam. Get ready for endless song routines, over-the-top fistfights, and of course, the walking dead in DO GAS ZAMEEN KE NEECHE.

In our first zombie prison movie, a group of incarcerated, formaldehyde-sniffing bad seeds make a break for it, but their plan gets nipped in the bud when the prison guards mow them down. The situation gets even thornier when undead horror quickly blooms from the shallow soil. Will everyone wind up pushing daisies? John, Andy, and Producer Brad grab their pruning shears and head into the GARDEN OF THE DEAD.

We've been wondering when the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD knockoffs would arrive. Well, they're officially here, starting with CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS! This movie hides its twenty minutes of solid Romero-style zombie action behind an hour of bizarre drama involving a team of actors, their sadistic director, and lot of black magic mumbo-jumbo. John, Andy, and Producer Brad explore a cult classic that makes them wonder if they should've listened to their parents and stayed far away.
