This is a kick ass tribute to 80s horror like THE STUFF and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.Sarah wasn't keen about spending the weekend out in the boonies with her boyfriend, Gary, and their four drunken, misfit friends. But when she catches wind that Gary may propose, she thinks the road trip to the old farmhouse might be worth it. When they stop at a quaint gas station along the way, they pick up several cases of a new brand of beer at the recommendation of the oddball gas station attendant, and Sarah soon realizes that the "Rude Beer" may cause more than intoxication.Psychotic tendencies... Grotesque bodily transmutations...Something is amiss with the new brand of beer... and it may be but a precursor to a far worse fate for the entire human race.
