Acne (2004)

Director Rusty Nails illustrious career has seen him at the helm of movies such as BLOOD DRINKERS, ANIMATED CORPSE and SANTIAGO VS. WIGFACE. Never one to shirk from a little violence and sex, Rusty's latest epic is ACNE, which tells the sorry tale of a bunch of teenagers who transform into zombies. Franny (Tracey Hayes) and Zooey (the ubiquitous Rusty Nails) are the first to undergo the transformation when they drink some contaminated water. With puss oozing from their every pore, the duo head off on a suburban adventure, where they infect fellow teens, develop a craving for chocolate, and get hunted down by the military. Nails proves his B-movie chops by paying not-so-subtle tributes to films such as RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, and many other films with the word "dead" in the title, while a vibrant punk rock soundtrack provides an appropriate backdrop to the carnage, with Devo, The Dead Kennedys, and The Lunachicks all featuring heavily throughout.
