Beth
Slocum is happily hiking alone in the woods but she dies from a venomous
snakebite. Her parents and her
boyfriend Zach are deeply affected by her death. Zach begins hanging out with the Slocum’s but they begin to
avoid his calls and they don’t answer the doorbell. Zach sees Beth through the window. What Zach doesn’t know and her parents are not fully aware
of is that Beth is now a zombie.
Zach is very happy he has the chance to do and say everything to her he
didn’t get a chance to do before she died. Her parents and Zach still love her but her unusual behavior
and the strange events happening around town cause life with Beth to be overly
complicated.
All
the actors deserve better material.
Zach and Beth’s parents are trapped in grief and hanging constantly onto
any thread of Beth. Beth
doesn’t remember anything about what happened to her in the woods. After her return, she doesn’t realize what she has become and her father doesn't want her to be told. Her dilemma creates a definite behavior box for her as
well. 3* (This movie is OK)
