An enjoyable movie, as put out by Synapse, of teenage girls attacking and eating people after they reach a point of happiness. Nicknamed Stacy, these young girls suddenly become sick and die, then come back as zombies and it's up to their fathers or brothers to kill them. Also helping them is a squad of repeat killers, both men and women; the women illegal of course. Overall good gore, some good scenes of heads with spines being ripped off and examined.
