The New Forbidden Zone

The Forbidden Room

Synopsis

In 1957, the mysterious curse of Skull Island reaches Wellington with rat-monkeys carrying corpse poison. Years later, the mild-mannered Lionel still lives under the thumb of his domineering mother, Vera. Only after meeting his lover, Paquita, does he finally glimpse a brighter life. During a trip to the zoo, Vera is bitten by a rat-monkey, and a terrifying outbreak of the undead begins.

As the situation spirals out of control, doctors and nurses turn into zombies. Lionel does something extraordinary: he locks every monster in his house, including his zombified mother and an unexpected zombie baby. To protect Paquita, he forces himself to push his lover away and face a hellish existence alone. But a “memorial” party thrown by his greedy uncle Les shatters the fragile peace. Hordes of zombies swarm out, turning the party into a blood-soaked slaughterhouse.

Amid the apocalyptic crisis, Lionel uncovers the dark secret of his mother’s murder of his father. Then, in a surge of love and hate, he transforms into a “god of war” wielding a lawn mower, fighting a bloody battle to the death against the zombies for his life and the person he loves.
