Plot[]
Same old story. Bunch of jackass teenagers want to go out and party so they go out to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. They could never have suspected that living beneath the bridge was a horde of zombie-like creatures eager to kill them all. Just another fun night in good ole San Fran.
