A feast for the brain, this gory and genuinely hilarious take on zombie culture simultaneously skewers, pays tribute to, and elevates the horror genre.,Seventeen-year-old Nero is stuck in the wilderness with a bunch of other juvenile delinquents on an â€œInward Trek.â€ As if that werenâ€™t bad enough, his counselors have turned into flesh-eating maniacs overnight and are now chowing down on his fellow miscreants. As in any classic monster flick worth its salted popcorn, plentiful carnage sends survivors rabbiting into the woods while the mindless horde of â€œinfectsâ€ shambles, moans, and drools behind. Of course, these kids have seen zombie movies. They generate â€œZombie Rulesâ€ almost as quickly as cheeky remarks, but attitude alone canâ€™t keep the biters back.,Serving up a cast of irreverent, slightly twisted characters, an unexpected villain, and an ending you wonâ€™t see coming, here is a savvy tale that thatâ€™s a delight to readâ€”whether youâ€™re a rabid zombie fan or freshly bittenâ€”and an incisive commentary on the evil that lurks within each of us.
