[+]
(Foreign Titles)
Nomination Year: 2013
SYNOPSIS: John Saxon and his platoon liberate a bunch of soldiers in Viet Nam…or perhaps I should say "Viet NOM!" For the guys they liberate somehow turned to cannibalism. *Infectious* cannibalism. Fast-forward about 18 months. Everyone's back home, but with these…urges. John finds himself biting the jailbait neighbor (who likes it), and his friend takes a chunk out of a horny woman in a movie theater, then goes on to kill two people in a flea market. More and more people are bitten, turning into antisocial psychopathic cannibals until… You get the idea.

Best One-Liner
I'd Hate To See Him on a Monday
I laughed out loud. "You know what you are--?" "Don't say it, doc. Just don't say it. Because I'm real sensitive on Fridays and there's no telling what I might do!" You could even go as far as 1:16:14 to get the hurt puppy-dog look on the doc's face as he slinks away. Up to you.

Inane Dialogue
"Hey Watch Out!" "Nevermind."
The guard would've been okay, probably…had not the biker guy shouted "Hey, watch out! He's got a gun!" Sure enough, he had. Good payoff.
