The year is 2020, and as the ten contestants of "Survival Island 2020" converge on a deserted island to compete for $50 million, money is about to become the least of their concerns. "Survival Island 2020" is the latest reality television craze, but in order to keep the ratings up producers will have to resort to more sensational tactics than ever before. As the contestants gather to go over the rules of the game, the producers reveal that their common enemy will be a zombie horde with an unrelenting appetite for human flesh. The result of a top-secret military experiment gone horribly awry, these cannibalistic corpses will not stop until everyone is dead or they've been dispatched with a bullet in the head - whichever comes first. Now, as the sun warms the azure waters around this picturesque island paradise, the hapless contestants are released into the jungle to do battle with a mindless enemy driven by hunger and devoid of any reason or logic. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An immortal Druid priest unleashes the powers of the damned on a family of grave-robbing morticians who disturbed his eternal slumber. For decades, the Crain family has operated a successful funeral home in the quiet town of Tehachapi Falls. Little do the citizens of this secluded desert town realize that their local undertakers harbor a dark secret: when they're not burying the dead, the Crain's are robbing graves and refurbishing used caskets for the next unsuspecting customer. When the Crain's disturb the remains of Jonathan Drue, the powerful sister of the deceased Druid priest calls on the corpses of everyone who has ever been wronged by the family to rise up from their graves and seek supernatural revenge. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
