Brain Blockers is a 2007 horror film directed by Lincoln Kupchak. Edwin Craig plays a professor who experiments on his college students and turns them into zombies.
Plot
A college professor, Dr. Douglas Newton (Edwin Craig), develops an experimental drug named Tryptophan (not to be confused with real Tryptophan) that has the unfortunate side effect of turning his students into blood thirsty zombie-like creatures leading them to eventually explode. It's up to a couple of grad students Jenny Wayne (Timmi Cragg) and Joe Larsen (Matt Shevin), along with the local newspaper reporter Ray Elsworth (Ned Liebl) to uncover Dr. Newton's dark secret and thwart his diabolical plans before time runs out.
