Bloody Disgusting has learned of an upcoming indie horror-comedy titled ‘The Revenant’, set for release in the Fall of 2009. The film is written and directed by D. Kerry Prior and stars Jacy King, Chris Wylde, David Anders, and Louise Griffiths. Read on for the synopsis.

In what was supposed to be a standard military drive through the desert, Officer First Class Bart Gregory finds himself killed in the Middle East during a rescue attempt gone wrong. Although his body is returned to the United States, and his body is laid to a peaceful rest, Bart finds that his afterlife is anything but. But before the lid can be put on his tomb, Bart inexplicably awakens, confused, horrified– a moldy, putrefying living corpse - A Revenant.

Bart desperately enlists the help of his best friend, Joey Leubner, in an attempt to ease Bart’s newfound nausea and agony. When a panicked emergency room forces the confused corpse to flee, the two friends discover that there is only one cure for Bart’s condition, Human blood.

Bart and Joey take matters into their own hands to keep Bart from decomposing, becoming “The Vigilante Gun-Slingers” in the process. The two anti-heroes sate both Bart’s bloody urges to feed upon the living, and exact vengeance upon the criminal element to protect the innocent. However, it is only a matter of time before things begin to spiral out of control during their macabre crusade, and Bart will learn that he must eventually embrace the path of his own horrific destiny… all while cruising in a 1979 Camaro with a surfboard on the roof.
