     Neat cover shows zombies busting through 
sidewalks.
But the film tells a different story.
A novelist (Stacy) researches voodoo, witchcraft, religion and bullshit for 90 minutes while his hot Italian wife (Canovas) bitches that he doesn't pay any attention to her.
Yawn.
There are two brief moments with zombies at the end of this sleepfest. But don't bother. Those scenes suck too.
The story isn't a bad idea, but unless you're a master director like Christopher Nolan (of "Momento"), forget it.
Leave this one in the cheap rack at the video store. Pick up Lucio Fulci's "Zombie (1980)" instead.
