Dead Eyes Open

A 70s gorefest throwback with carefully-crafted special effects and a gritty visual style, Dead Eyes Open stands alone among the new generation of horror. A group of twenty-somethings take off in a van across the German countryside in search of adventure, but when they run out of gas they find themselves stranded in an unknown wilderness. They have no idea where they are and, worse yet, are unable to defend themselves from the bloodthirsty lunatic who sends them running for shelter in an isolated farmhouse. After locking themselves inside, they realize that their nightmare has only begun as throngs of the walking dead descend upon them. (Troma Entertainment)
