Bob Jim Imagine "Warm bodies" if it was funny, with cool action scenes and better dialogue. (And better story.)It was surprisingly funny, with crude (And somewhat revolutionary humor , personally for me. I never thought you could do a zombie- penis joke that good.). I LOVED the action scenes. How they worked the camera & edited it made them intense and cool. *Heavy spoilers ahead*The only thing that prevented me from giving this movie a higher rating, was the really cheesy & unfunny ending. I expected it to be "The main character has grown a lot and stopped being weirdly awkward all the time and he expresses his love in a badass clear way" but instead "lets make it awakward and cheesy. Also lets make her chase after him like 5 meters & kiss him and speak to him in a cheesy weird bad lines kind of way just to make it worse"God, that ending ruined it. I still love the movie though.

bowmanblue Like zombies? Tired of watching Mila what's-her-name kicking hordes of them out of her way in heels? Bored of George Romero pretending that he's still relevant? If the answer to any of these questions is 'yes' then this could be the film for you.Deadheads is about a zombie uprising, only two of those groaning shufflers just so happens to be intelligent. Yes, they're dead. Yes, they're decomposing and yes, bits of them are falling off (I'll leave it to your imagination to guess which bits). In fact, they're basically alive, apart from the fact that their fellow walkers don't want to eat them and the remaining humans all want to shoot them in the head. Add to this that one of the two unfortunate living zombies is still pining for his ex girlfriend and you have a road trip across America with two wisecracking zombies.The two IQ-upped undead also take along a 'conventional' zombie (who they call 'Cheese' for some reason - I might have missed why) and treat him like a pet. Cheese, in turn repays them by stealing every scene even though he does little else but groan and look slightly confused.There are plenty of pop culture references added into the mix and, before long, you may even forget you're watching what is, in effect, quite a low budget 'student-like' film.Ultimately, Deadheads is a fun film for all the family (assuming your family is 'The Adams Family'). It has great characters with even greater facial hair and may even take the place of the hallowed Shaun of the Dead in the Zomromcom department.Now, just remember never to ask a zombie what he keeps in his pocket.

Peppered_Productions If George A. Romero, John Hughes, Sam Raimi & Broken Lizard spliced together their genes, DeadHeads may indeed be the love child of this labor.Reading the plot summary before selecting this flick, I thought it was going to be "My Boyfriend's Back" shifted forward a few years. I liked that little sleeper, and would have been happy with a similar track.However, from the first scenes, this story was clearly pure camp, with heart. We open with Mike (Michael McKiddy), a newly awakened zombie. He is self-aware and intelligent, except, of course with regards to his current state of being. He soon meets Brent (Ross Kidder), who becomes his goofy sidekick. Brent is grounded more in the reality of their situation, and his loyal friendship helps Mike along.Mike has unfinished business - he is carrying an engagement ring meant for his high school sweetheart, Ellie (Natalie Victoria). Unfortunately, he's been dead 3 years. He doesn't know how he got where he is, or why he's one of few 'intelligent' zombies around, but this quest is his only thought.Unfortunately for the guys, there are 'unchanged' folks ready to call them out & kill them. Also, there's the little matter of the corporate types hunting them down for extermination. It seems they may have something to do with the situation Mike finds himself in. They've hired a sure-shooting, experienced zombie slayer, Thomas (Thomas Galasso).What follows is your typical A to B road trip. We meet many characters along the way. Beloved "Cheese" (Markus Taylor), is the slow, but mostly harmless zombie who tags along like a puppy. Cliff (Harry Burkey) is the doper who picks them up and helps get them closer to Ellie's door. And, of course, super-fuzz wannabe McDinkle (Benjamin Webster), who seems to be suffering from a combination of suppressed homosexuality and roid rage.At times, this flick had a very "Tommy Boy" feel w/Brent being the Chris Farley to Mike's serious David Spade. The music and almost cartoonish delivery from Kidder's Brent also called to mind the newer Scooby Doo cartoon features. Add to that the naked sincerity of Mike's love for Ellie, and a high school reunion to boot - we have a Zombie John Hughes movie.I discovered part way through the movie why there was a Bruce Campbell quote in the trailer - they watch clips of Evil Dead. But, I was OK with that. The snippets fit in with the campy nature of the film.This movie manages to fill many niches at once, as well as hearkening to some 80s nostalgia (there is a Goonies reference at one point). The story, direction, music and acting are overall pretty good. Even Kidder's exuberant offerings don't quite tip to the side of absurd. The lighting is a bit weird, trying to keep it dark, but for the most part it's forgivable. As we head toward the climax, Mike gets flashes of memory revealing pieces of how he got where he is. When he finally reaches Ellie's door, he is just as resigned, though prepared not to have his fairy tale ending. She makes the decision for him & Brent encourages them to 'give the audience what they want' amid a throng of the corporate scientists and assassins who have followed them the whole way.Overall, I really liked this film. It was entertaining, and the characters were sympathetic. They played a far-fetched storyline, with enough humor and drama to keep my attention to the end. There are plenty of gags and caricatures, but they add to the fun of this adventure.My rating: 7 out of 10.

Jon Dickinson This film was a delight to watch and had everything every self-respecting movie buff would want... horror, comedy, action, and romance supported by a solid story and a highly entertaining script. The Pierce Brothers deliver plenty of laughs and tender moments between the onslaught of gore that is expected from any decent zombie movie.The story is described as: "Two zombie slackers, Mike and Brent, find themselves surprisingly reborn from the dead amid a disastrous zombie outbreak. After discovering an engagement ring in his coat pocket, Mike enlists his new found zombie pal, Brent, to embark on a quest in search of his lost love. What ensues is a hilarious cross country road trip as these two reformed flesh-eating pals hitch-hike across the country as they are pursued by a team of zombie killin' bounty hunters!"The cast are fantastic! Michael McKiddy and Ross Kidder play a great duo as our leads but the noteworthy nods go to Ben Webster's Zombie Assassin McDinkle and Marcus Taylor playing the lovable deadite Cheese. Both performances steal almost every scene they appear in!I am pleased that the film has been given a US distribution as I'm sure people will love it as I do!! Check it out, you won't be disappointed!!
