Synopsis: Television reporter Angela and her cameraman Pablo are on a ride-along with members of the fire department when they’re called to help a sick woman in an apartment building. Not long after their arrival on the scene the building is quarantined and they are trapped inside. They soon learn the reason for the quarantine - the sick woman in the building is a zombie, and she’s not the only one.


We find ourselves in a hairy situation for our next movie. We don’t want you to wig out but you just won’t beweave what this one’s about. Ok, I’m done…our next movie is Bad Hair, currently streaming on Hulu.

We've talked about the trailer for our next movie before on the podcast, but now we are finally able to watch and review the actual movie. As much as we love Halloween and October, it feels good to move away from bigger, more "mass-market" horror films and get back into lesser-known horror. So join us next time when we'll be covering Goodnight Mommy.
