Directed by Deland Nuse and Jack A. Sunseri, U.S.A. It’s Halloween night and, during a storm, the power goes down at Universal Cryogenics. Security guy Vince (Grizzly Adams himself, Dan Haggerty) thinks the best thing is to shift all the frozen bods in their pods outside. Bad idea. A lightning strike reanimates the stiffs and soon they’re shuffling around, attacking various characters who’ve been parachuted into the script to contribute to the bodycount. Linda Blair, Troy Donahue, and a moron-on-a-keyboard soundtrack contribute toward keeping the trash-factor high. The action takes a while to get going but, when it does, it builds up a decent head of steam without ever really becoming genuinely gripping or entertaining. 3/5.
