ynopsis

A writer finds that a television has been delivered to his house without him ever ordering one. Not about to look a gift horse in the mouth, the writer accepts the television, only to find that it does not work properly and continuously plays a gory zombie movie titled "Zombie Bloody Nightmare."

The television is demonic, and opens a portal that spews out hordes of flesh-hungry zombies who proceed to make short work of the writer. Three months later, a new family moves into the writer's house. With the parents having not yet arrived, the teenage children, Jeff and Zoe, find the television in the attic and turn it on, releasing the zombies into the real world again.

The fortunate arrival of a Texas cowboy, Joshua, and the use of a chainsaw still do not enable them to survive the encounter. Jeff and Joshua both are killed while Zoe manages to trick the zombies by showing them no fear and inviting them to dance in the basement, trapping them so they go crazy and begin eating each other and are drawn back into the TV. The movie ends with the same cursed television inexplicably moved to Zoe's hospital room as a gift from her parents and left on with the girl unable to reach the TV and turn it off.
