    Michael Turner returns unexpectedly from the Iraq war to his small home town, a relieved family... and a legion of the undead. After his younger brother contributes in the accidental release of a creature which feeds off flesh, the young soldier races to rescue him and find the rest of his scattered family... plus an estranged girlfriend and her new lover. Once gathered, it's up to him to protect the survivors during the course of one grisly night. Though they manage to take shelter overnight in a local high school to buy themselves the illusion of safety, their actions inadvertently opens Michael's soul to the horrors of his own past transgressions. Fighting off his own inner demons, Michael leaves the task of finding a solution to the horrific invasion to a local science professor, and hopes his family doesn't pay the price. But he doesn't have a choice - inevitably he knows his only path is a lonely journey down that dark path everyone fears to tread.

Amazon's description: "Start with throwback horror techniques, mix 2 parts Night of the Living Dead, 1 part Phantasm, & 1 dysfunctional family and you get: Locked Away." Yeah no. This is certainly no Night of the Living Dead, and I don't know where the hell they're getting Phantasm from, because this is NOTHING like that film.

Basically this is a pretty standard low budget zombie flick, generally awful, adds nothing new to the genre, and has no scares to speak of. Weirdly, though, I liked the lead actor, but he's the only decent element in the movie. Otherwise, the dialogue and acting are completely atrocious. I've seen far worse films, though, and if you think you haven't, then you haven't looked hard enough.
