The survivors , mostly young adults as Robert Beltran , are hunted by a pair of baddies : Mary Woronov , Geoffrey Lewis , these emerge from their low-budget bunker to reveal that the turn-of-dust thing is accelerating and they need to drain the blood of uncontamined survivors .
An amusing and enjoyable Science Fiction movie with two wonderful protagonists giving and having fun. It is added with a moving musical score and packing about twenty songs . Enjoyable chiller in medium budget with thrills , terror , noisy action , shootouts and it all adds up to a zesty spoof of science fiction genre . Cute and fun , but the storyline runs out earlier the film does .

Thom has directed a few but acceptable films as Sole Survivir , Without a clue , The night before , Gross anatomy , Captain Ron , Ratz , Face Down , among others . Rating 6.5/10 . Decent and entertaining enough Scifi/horror movie with hilarious elements .
