After a two and a half year stint in a mental institution, Renee moves with her new fiancé (Estevez) to the desert only to be confronted by nightmares that might be real. It seems a family of Mayans were killed in the house a few years back, but because the proper burial rights weren’t given, they are now zombies. Hungry and pissed off, they make lunch out of a couple of criminals and their hostages and then set their sights on Renee, Estevez and Michael, a local worker who has his own plans with Renee. A nice twist on the zombie genre that uses All Souls Day with Mayan traditions, but it doesn’t always work. Some good gore sequences, with the highlight being a nice head decap as the zombie family proceeds to rip off Joe Estevez’s head! Actually shot on film rather than the usual video, Heavener’s film will make several zombie fans happy, but it takes a good 50 minutes to get to the good stuff. Nice but cheap make up. A bigger budget, some restraint and better acting from some of the minor characters would have made this a small classic for most horror fans
