Lightning Media has has secured the rights to the post apocalyptic horror film Bio-Dead (watch trailer here). You can check it on VOD August 2009 or wait for it to hit DVD shortly after it premieres.

Set in the not-too-distant future, Bio-Dead takes place during the aftermath of a bioterrorist attack that has killed twelve million people and rendered Southern California uninhabitable. The once thriving mecca has now become a contaminated wasteland known as “The Zone”. Hazmat teams are dispatched into “The Zone” to search for survivors and document all casualties.

When a lone hazmat team enters a seemingly abandoned building after dark, the men begin to experience terrifying hallucinations and soon realize that they are not alone. Trapped inside the compound with no escape, the terrified team finds themselves locked in a struggle for survival against a vicious predator… and each other.
