A group of young filmmakers, making a low-budget horror movie in an abandoned hospital, stumble upon a dead body and decide to use it in their film. To their dismay, this releases dozens of spiteful zombies from the netherworld, who trap the youngsters in the hospital with little chance of escape.

Chock full of in-jokes and horror movie references (kinda like a low-budget zombie version of Scream, but not as clever).
All told, it's an amusing tale, though it doesn't approach the sheer gritty perversity of the zombie epics they reference.
