Plot summary
Corrupt government officials organize an anti-drug initiative, and planes fly over illegal drug fields to spray them with a chemical called Dromax. The plan is to wipe out the plants. The hippie growers who work the fields are poisoned by the chemical instead, and they become flesh-eating, zombie-like creatures. The film was made in the late 1970s on a farm in Mills, Pennsylvania, and it also circulates under the title Toxic Zombies. In the United States it had a limited theatrical release and was shown twice on the USA Network, and British authorities later classed it as a video nasty, one of several films banned there in the 1980s.
