A military experiment goes awry when a strength-enhancing serum turns test subjects into flesh-eating zombies instead of super-soldiers.
Oh no!
The rest of the serum, shipped in 55-gallon drums, is accidentally unleashed upon the local populace. Due to some unknown X-factor, the contaminant turns four unsuspecting young people into invincible mega-humans, while transforming others into shambling undead.
In WASTING AWAY (aka: AAAH! ZOMBIES!), it's all a matter of perspective, since we're shown a reality through the eyes of the zombie hordes. They are the ones caught up in a bewildering chaos, not understanding the "plague" of crazed maniacs around them. From their point of view, they're "normal" and everyone else has gone berserk!
While this works fairly well most of the time, it does get pretty silly. It also feels padded out. It could have been cut down to about 20-30 minutes in length and made into a glorious short film or horror anthology segment.
As it stands, it's still worth checking out...
