The Dead Next Door
director: J.R. Bookwalter actor: Peter Ferry / Bogdan Pecic …
other title: Mondo zombie
The government sets up a zombie squad after an epidemic has made the world run rampant with living corpses. The team head off to Ohio to try and find a cure but soon run into a crazy cult of zombie lovers who are set on preserving the walking dead as they believe it's God's will.

This was a home movie shot on Super 8 that somehow grew over several years into something that got backing from Sam Raimi, voice work by Bruce Campbell and the participation of half the city of Akron, Ohio. Even some location shots by D.C. landmarks. (Decades later, it got a Kickstarter fundraiser to restore and upscale to HD.)

Silly fun with terrible dialogue and lots of gore (of varying quality). By an "elite squad of zombie hunters", they mean "the most incompetent ones imaginable".
