    Bella arrives in LA with a mission to fuck her way to the top. She is in all honesty barely an adult, but still her plan is to conquer the porn industry. Already just a few scenes into the movie, we watch her first porn shoot, which ends in Bella posting a selfie to Instagram with the hashtag #fuckjante (fuck anyone who says I can’t do anything).

Unfortunately this film is no exception to that rule. The worse part of the movie starts when the dead come alive. But apart from the fact that zombies somehow often disappoint me, I must…
