#1 The Gorge: Three friends get caved in while out exploring a gorge, after 27 days of eating only bats and rats, the two healthier members eat their dying friend. After being found they continue to crave human flesh.

#2 Sabbath Hill: A married teacher is haunted by a pupil, who commited suicide after he had an affair and got her pregnant.

#3 Dust: To help his terminally ill wife, a security guard steals a vial of dust from work, thats thought to be a potential cure for cancer. At first she seems to be cured, only things don't work as he'd hoped, and she becomes addicted to the dust.

Abysmally bad, unimaginative trilogy of tales, for the life me I wonder why Romero got involved. The first tale is a poor mans Descent rip off, seconds a flat morality tale about being haunted by guilt, the thirds a laughable 'how far can a man go to protect that which he loves' featuring moon dust and zombies. Highlight of the whole thing is the cleavage of actress Amanda Frost (who plays pregnant pupil and suicide victim Allison Knowles) , its just a shame we never actually see her topless. The gores amatuer the tension is none existant and theres zero humour throughout the entire duration, at least the worst troma offering, has gags this has nothing. I urge fans to avoid it at all costs, and urge Romero to use his name for something more worthy (which would be absoultly anything than more volumes of this garbage).

Themes Included: Undead ● Dead ● Sick Teacher
