Five teenage friends set out for the beach on their Spring Break vacation. Good times are cut short when one of the group, Carrie, contracts a deadly sexual transmitted disease during a bathroom stop. When they stop for the night at an isolated motel, the real terror begins when the STD virus starts running rampant, turning those infected into the living dead.
Beneath its wanton gross-out factor is an actually funny horror comedy.
I turned this movie off after 20 minutes and really didn't want to continue. Forcing myself to watch it further, it actually improved, and considerably.
The plot of this basically is a janitor in a hospital has a date with a girl in the morgue. She's dead of course and died of radiation exposure resulting in him getting some super-STD, turning into a zombie, seeking out vaginal blood, and infecting several others. Along comes a group of high schoolers on their way to a beach weekend and pulling over at a roadside hotel in the town to stay over the night. But they didn't plan on the horny dead making an appearance.
An experiment in excessive gross-out this movie is, but as disgusting as it is, it is actually well scripted, well lit for a nighttime movie and briskly paced. It is funny, though some of that humor is off-color and offensive.
I give it a 6/10, but do bring your own vomit bag, or more preferably a bucket.
