This zombie musical-comedy-horror film comes complete with sexy dancing zombies and a rock opera score. Political satire congeals with buckets of blood that appeals equally to fans from a multitude of genres.
Song of the Dead is Night Of The Living Dead meets The Who’s Tommy with a splash of Shaun of the Dead.All across America, the Jihad Resurrection Virus (JRV) seeps into the pores of the dead, waking them from their sleep and ghoulishly transforming peaceful corpses into flesh-devouring zombies.
News anchors and government officials are conveniently vague about the circumstances surrounding the biological release of JRV and subsequent zombie infestation. The President (Reggie Bannister, Phantasm films and Bubba Ho-Tep) calls upon Americans to unite and resist the treacherous “terrorist attack.”
One Missouri family at the heart of this tragedy struggles to cope with existing internal conflicts while battling these bloody, malodorous “zombie terrorists.” After narrowly escaping a zombie attack at the graveyard where her mother is buried, the intellectually prudent Sandy King (Kate Gorman) with her mentally unstable boyfriend Brad (Travis Hierholzer), travel to her father’s cabin.
Upon arriving, they meet Sandy’s brother, United States Air Force pilot Tommy King (Steve Williams, Zombie Bloodbath 3: Zombie Armageddon and The Shivers) and their Vietnam War veteran father Harold King (Conrad Gubera). Together they form the frontline to protect each other against the deadly zombie invasion.While on patrol around the cabin, a mysterious stranger named Arthur Bundy (Steve Andsager) saves Sandy from a zombie attack.
The family invites the confused Arthur to stay and briefs him on the crisis. The invasive TV and radio news drum up fear and suspicion within the group causing Arthur to divulge his secret past. Then, one by one, Sandy sees her family picked off by zombies as resources and hope run low.
