Meanwhile Hannity, a militaristic officer for the Coleman Corporation, berates his collectors Stanley and Rocco for repeatedly allowing the three thieves to intercept zombies they were assigned to pick up.
Upon recovering at home with Maggie after having been knocked unconscious, Karl and Freddy find a videotape where Stanley and Rocco reveal they kidnapped Mrs. Neard and are demanding a ransom.
Don refers the three thieves to controversial performance artist Otto Maddox, who negotiates to pay the trio $50,000 if they steal the corpse of actress Debbie Jones, who was famously first to play Zelvirella, a character similar to Vampira.
Concerned that the undead will eventually outnumber the living, Hannity presents his "Project Zoltan," an experimental gas designed to reengineer zombies, to Coleman Corporation's board of directors.
However, Coleman subsequently dies from a sex swing accident and resurrects as a brain-damaged zombie, so Hannity uses the opportunity to take control of the company.
Karl, Maggie, and Freddy infiltrate Country Hill Cemetery only to discover Debbie Jones's corpse is too skeletal to be reanimated.
Meanwhile, Hannity deploys his Project Zoltan gas on the show floor, which makes the zombies suddenly turn violent against humans.
Jane collects the dropped briefcase and tries sneaking away as Karl, Maggie, and Freddy learn they have been framed as bioterrorists for the attack on Otto's art show.
Two weeks later, Karl, Maggie, Freddy, and Jane avoid getting arrested for the supposed terrorist attack, but only because Hannity's viral gas turned the world into a typical zombie apocalypse.
Along with Rocco and Mrs. Neard, the four of them continue surviving in a diner owned by Freddy's Uncle Dave while Stanley wanders the wasteland still clutching the briefcase.
Undoubtedly, this movie will captivate zombie comedy aficionados, and it's well worth a watch for the sheer enjoyment it brings; it's a future cult classic that could rival Turbo Kid.
[14] Matt Donato of Slashfilm rate the film 7 out of 10 and he wrote: "We Are Zombies" is an uneven zom-com until the third act's elegant gala backdrop becomes a living impaired feeding ground.
