Night of the Zombies (1980)

In the remote expanse of Papua New Guinea, catastrophe unravels at the Hope Centre, an altruistic organization dedicated to combating global hunger. An insidious chemical leak morphs the benevolent staff into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies, turning their noble mission into a chilling nightmare. As the news of the terrifying incident slips through the cracks, a daring four-man commando squad, led by the tenacious Mike London, ventures into the heart of the epidemic, their mission shrouded in uncertainty and danger. Parallel to their harrowing journey, a fearless TV news crew, fronted by the charismatic celebrity reporter Lia, chases the same chilling tale, their journalistic curiosity plunging them into the grim reality of a country besieged by the undead. As the virus spreads relentlessly, transforming the inhabitants into an army of the undead, the two groups must navigate the perils of this zombie-infested landscape. With the odds stacked against them, their struggle for survival is as much about getting the horrifying message across as it is about their own survival. Night of the Zombies is not your typical zombie flick. It forces the viewer to confront a grim prophecy - neglect the Third World, and they may just come to feed on us. This chilling narrative serves as a stark reminder of our global interconnectedness, making it a gripping watch for fans of horror and social commentary alike.
