Norman Hopper comes back from Vietnam after being bitten by one of his men, who was infected by a disease that made him crave human flesh.
A few years down the line, Norman's cravings start to overtake him. When his old friend Charlie, who has been in a mental hospital (he was one of the infected in Vietnam), takes over a nearby department store, Norman rushes to help. He quickly becomes entangled in a web of cannibalism and teams up with a group of infected people to try and get out of the city.

This movie already gets like 3 points for John Saxon playing the lead. Then it's in tha "A", so there's another point. That's 4 already...Well aside from Atlanta for being the city where player's play and we all ride on 'dem thangs like ev-er-yday, big beats and phat sheets-whatever the hell they're talking about- Oh yeah, and noone goes to bed until 8 a.m., it's has also had it's own cannibal breakout back in tha dizzle, fo shizzle. Well I guess NYC isn't alone anymore. HA!!!! Funny, my parents never told me about that one, anyway good stuff here, folks. The showdown is the greatest!
The random motorcycle gang is cccclasssic. Well that and the few hotties this film has, Especially the one in the theater. *dIZamn!* Well then there was the one who was schemin' on Saxon...The "girl next door" *haha!* I swear, if it's one thing those Europeans know, is how to cast really hot chicks. I figure that's their way to ensure you get something out of the movie just in case it blows. Either way, the rampage that ensues was funny, too. Of course the A-TEAM beginning sequence was awwwessSOME!!! Some good gore as well, you'll understand the hole in the stomach on the box. I'm also convinced Tom was just there to be angry and curse for no damn reason. Maybe he draws his inspiration from Bobby Rhodes? Or maybe he's naturally like that. Or he just has a bad case of Turretts Syndrome. Who knows? Of course, all of this will be mentioned in the remix of "Welcome to Atlanta" by J.D. and Ludacris feat. P-Diddy. Definitely worth a watchin'!
Cap'ns thumbs up! *Harrr*

Ah, always good to see Atlanta in a movie. It's pretty rare, especially in the crappy movie circuit, so I'm always thrilled when I spot some familiar sights.
Made near the tale end of the "crazy cannibals eating people and stuff" era of Italian flicks, this movie actually has a bit more of a point to it. Portraying Vietnam vets as crazy is a normal stereotype in movies, but making them cannibals give it a whole new twist. Would the media just think they were crazy because of the war? Is cannibalism a communicable disease? Can socks really be that damn long? The real main difference is that the cannibals are coming TO the city instead of people wandering out into the jungle for no reason and being chomped on, which makes it much more real.
It's bloody and gory as all hell and back, too. Holes blown through people, arteries torn out and chomped on; the movie is half covered in blood as soon as you put the DVD in. The end sequence is random and insane as well, so it leaves on a high note. Definitely recommended!
