Toxic Zombies (1980)

Government officals have a field of weed sprayed with an experimantl chemical that turns the crop growers into ravenous zombies. I make it a pont to see every zombie movie I can get my hands on. I don't know what it is, but I'm a sucker for movies about the living dead. This by far was not the worse one I've ever seen. But it was far from classic material as well. Plenty of action and a rolling body count make it pretty watchable. 2.5 out of 5.

Characters

• Cole: Conservation agent who is in charge of an area hippies are useing to grow weed. They turn into zombies, which really just screw up his plans to go fishing.
• Polly: Cole's girlfriend who insists on going on the fishing trip with him and his brother. See? There's a reason women aren't suppose to come along on these trips! Neck snapped by zombies.
• Briggs: Evil government man who accidently turned the hippies into zombies and is now trying to cover his tracks. Zombie chow.
• Phillips: Briggs' reluctant assistant who gets hit with a rock and becomes zombie fodder.
• Jay: Cole's younger brother who has an endless supply of bad jokes. Head beaten in with a rock.
• Amy: Young girl on a camping trip with her family, until her parents get eaten.
