Guess Who`s coming to dinner? Blood thirsty ghouls bent on cannibalism!

A group of hippies are camped on a mountain protecting there crops of ganja which they are harvesting and generally getting high. The Army wanted to test a new insect repellent which was not tested for safety so the blagged this old piss-head pilot to dump it on the ground with his crop sprayer plane. The pilot got the wrong field and sprayed it on the gang, which had an adverse side effect causing the hippies to turn into flesh eating "Toxic Zombies!".

This film was one of the 72 that got banned in 1982 in the U. K. and you still cannot get hold of it from here to this date. It`s hard to tell why it was banned (unless I have bought the complete wank copy), because it is not that violent, apparently it could be something to do with the ganja element as some people believe that the crop spraying of the ganja fields by the American Police was a direct cause of this film.

It is not particularly gory but does have a few violent bits with some blood. Overall, it is your usual zombie flick but with a twist...

- a ganja twist!
