Daniel rolls in with the tank and he blows off Herzog's head. All of the zombies fall. His head lands somewhere in the mountains. Martin is not put in prison as the police saw the zombies and the battle. He heads off to reanimate his girlfriend, Hanna, who was killed in the first movie. He and Hanna have sex. The film ends with someone discovering Herzog's head and he is still alive.

This was a great film. I loved how it just kept flying along. There were no dull moments in this one.
Like the original, it has a sense of humour but plenty of horror also. The zombies were good and the story was fun. I liked how they brought back a survivor for this and the idea of him having powers was interesting. If you liked the first film, I know that you will enjoy this. I certainly did and I highly recommend this one. It is fun and gory and it will satisfy any horror fan. I will give it a 7/10.
