Feeling totally humbled by the entire experience and so grateful to be surrounded by a number of incredibly talented and kind humans!”
Full of zombie blood-splatter, DEAD SQUAD is based on real events from the Nazi/CIA underground facilities for experimentations, which was originally responsible for creating and unleashing zombie hordes to invade the world. After World War II, a secret military program known as “Operation Paperclip” recruited over 1500 former Nazi scientists. Sending them to America to continue their work, the scientists were given new identities, with false employment records and political backgrounds. In 1953, the CIA initiated “Project MK-ULTRA”, which involved using unwilling human-subjects as lab rats, located in secret, faraway places.
But, one cannot be completely certain of what actually did transpire in those isolated and seemingly abandoned concrete facilities hidden by inaccessible landscapes and hushed by forbidden secrets.

Hauser’s stylized ‘80s horror-adventure DEAD SQUAD follows the ongoing experiments, rooted in post-World War II, narrating the story of seven friends, who get lost during a river-rafting trip through the tropical jungle. When they stumble upon a long-lost ruin of an ancient temple, the friends discover the ruin is not abandoned, but home to the undead and mysterious monsters. But while trying to escape, the friends face something far more sinister than just zombies.
One of the creature-feature’s producers, Orlando Bassi, provided the DEAD SQUAD with a small film studio in Bali, Indonesia. Movie Studio Bali is located on the edge of the Balinese jungle, setting Ervin and Stevens as tall as ever against the vast tropical forest.
Accompanied by gratuitous butchery and signature moments of gruesome gore, the filming location sets the stage for the thriving horde of the living dead, threatening a group of young vacationers and creating a reality of ultimate hell, while fighting for survival.
