Forest of Fear

Marijuana growers, a herbicide and some very slow zombies. On the list by accident of title.

Marijuana growers, a government herbicide, and some extremely slow zombies in upstate New York.

The premise is eco-horror and the film is too poor to execute it: the infected shamble, the helicopter footage is reused, and the effects are limited to grey face paint.

It reached Britain as Bloodeaters, which is the title it was listed under, and the most plausible account of why it was prosecuted is that the sleeve promised something the film does not contain.

Charles McCrann wrote, produced, directed and starred, and worked in insurance. He died in the World Trade Center in 2001.

Successfully prosecuted, and among the least deserving titles on the list on any measure.
