Zombie Nightmare
Tony Washington is killed in a hit-and-run after saving the local bodega clerk from robbers. Molly Mokembe is a Haitian voodou practitioner who brings him back as a zombi from a debt owed by Tony's late dad in an act of sacrifice that saved her. Jimbo, the kid that iced Tony, is embracing some new sadistic feelings. What follows is a revenge that can only be sated once all of those who were with Jimbo that night have had their due.
Why it matters
A cult-flavored ’80s zombie revenge flick dripping with voodoo mysticism and low-budget charm.
- A time capsule of ’80s horror excess—think neon, synths, and unhinged practical gore.
- Tony Todd’s early screen presence adds eerie weight before his Candyman days.
- Voodoo-infused undead justice serves as a rare cultural twist in a genre drowning in clichés.
- Hammy acting and patchy effects won’t fool anyone, but fans of goofy, offbeat zombie fare will find a guilty pleasure here.
