Part of Dastardly Difficult December: film nr.82

This is one of those films that if you're willing to go along with its silly premise, there is a decent amount of fun to be had.

Making the two heroes sentient zombies provides from some rather funny bits in the beginning. The first act is definitely the strongest, with some great gore and a nice meta awareness in the comedy. I was on board so far.

Where it lost me was in the rather stupid plot. The further it got on the less interested I became. Sure, there were still some hilarious scenes, but its shift in tones became a bit too erratic. The final act is a bit of a bore as it takes far too much time to tie up all the loose ends.

There is potential in this film and it's a shame that the fun all involved clearly had making it doesn't really rub off on the audience.

Newly re-animated zombies Mike and Brent, with all their mental faculties intact (due to a re-animating agent created by the government), go on a road trip so Mike can be with the women he loves. Along the way they make new friends, run away from ruthless (and idiotic) ee-vil hazmat henchmen, and make tons of pop culture references. Though it stumbles at times (the reason for zombies, especially sentient ones, is never fully explored; there's a sub-plot involving Mike's killer that doesn't really go anywhere) this is one of the better indie zombie offerings out there. Give it a look; you may just be surprised!

Watched as part of 2012's Halloween Horror Season.

So many references. I can't recall seeing a film that referenced Transformers: The Movie before. This quotes two direct lines of dialogue from it. Which is perfect because Brent, one of the two protagonist zombies, is a slacker from the Star Wars era. That pretty much scored the movie three stars by itself. Plus they referenced Back to the Future and the Goonies. It was like seeing a movie one of my friends had made. I know a movie shouldn't be all references though and its not. It's actually quite a heartfelt film about true love and zombies. Plus Cheese was adorable. This whole thing was a big hit with me.

Knowing nothing about it going in, yet having quite low expectations from the cover (not the one featured), DeadHeads turned out to be a pleasing light hearted zombie road movie. It was full of fun and energy which made up for some of its faults. It did take a while for me to sync in with it but found myself smiling along with the stupidness of it all. I imagine it was a fairly low budget, but it is well crafted, with good effects and has a very high level of filming (We will certainly see more from the Pierce Brothers).

Strangely enjoyable.

Side note - Ross Kidder who plays Brent, sounds a bit like Paul Giamatti

Pretty funny low budget zombie comedy, worth a watch.

Really bad script and a story that barely carries us from start to finish. The concept is cool, there just weren't really any laughs. The whole movie was extremely cliched and tired. A little bit of decent gore, but nothing I would recommend. I'll never watch it again.

This is another stupid zombie movie that is just entertaining enough to keep viewers interested enough to not turn the channel - at least that's how my experience went when I watched it on Showtime Beyond today.

It's got zombies, military experiments, a high school reunion, over-zealous government agents, a rogue zombie-killing convict, and some decent humor in the banter between the two main characters who happen to be smart zombies.

Who knew zombies could reattach severed limbs? Well, apparently the makers of this movie did, it's a gag they use at least four times in the film.

Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. Did appreciate its ability to chew up an hour and a half of my evening when I couldn't find anything else capable of doing it.

Und noch eine Zombiekomödie... der Typ neben mir im Kino hat sich halb tot gelacht, und das war mir sehr unangenehm. Denn die meisten Gags wollten bei mir leider nicht zünden und haben mich stellenweise sogar richtig genervt. Wenn man dann auch noch das Gefühl hat, völlig allein mit seinem Leid zu sein, ist das doppelt quälend.
Die Story ist ein Hauch von Nichts: Zwei liebe Zombies auf dem Weg zur Ex-Freundin, um ihr Herz zurück zu gewinnen - natürlich verfolgt von Zombiejägern. Muss so etwas immer noch sein?

Great zombie flick, told from the point of view of the 2 zombies!

Streaming: Fun horror/comedy zombie flick with a unique take. I love movies that know and respect the genre they're working in and this is one of them.
Good score. Zombie movie with heart. Would make a great double feature with TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL.
Why are movies like this not getting theatrical releases!!?? It's a crime.
