[edit] Plot
A teenage girl gains a scholarship to an all-male boarding school, but soon discovers that her fellow classmates are becoming personality-less drones. As she investigates the school, she discovers the faculty may be experimenting on students.
[edit] Remake?
On May 12, 2005, a remake of Zombie High was released, at the Philadelphia Creative and Performing Art’s 4th annual film festival. The co-creator of the remake, Scott J. Bechtel, has said several times in interviews about the two movies:
“There is no similarities between the two films. It had just been by coincidence that, we chose a name for the movie at the tenth hour, and we came up with Zombie High. I never had any idea that there was a Zombie High before this one. I mean when it came out, I was only one.”
Since its release, it has gained a small cult following, and has found a second life on sites such as MySpace and YouTube.
On November 24th, 2007, Scott J. Bechtel announced on his blog, on MySpace, that he just got done filming a spin-off sequel to his remake, and should be released on YouTube after the Christmas Holiday.
[edit] Legacy
