tbrunningbare2 This spoof movie actually hit the mark in its spoofing.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I didn't really know what this movie was about, nor did I have any real expectations to it. All that mattered was the fact that it was a zombie movie. Sure, I knew that it was going to be a comedy of sorts, but it had zombies in it. And anything with zombies in it, is worth a watch in my opinion.The story had some interesting and good aspects to it, that mostly being the story of socially awkward eb Clarington (played by Maria Thayer), which actually put the zombie outbreak in the background.The comedy elements to "Night of the Living Deb" were present all throughout the entire movie, with the majority of those moments actually bringing about laughs or a big smile. To that point, then director Kyle Rankin was certainly on to something."Night of the Living Deb" was, however, not an impressive movie. And by that I mean that the storyline was a bit too forced and not all aspects of the storyline worked out in favor of the movie.And also the special effects were not overly impressive. Sure, this was not a zombie movie in the traditional sense, so one might debate whether or not it should have had more impressive zombie make-up or not. In my opinion, it should; you can't have a zombie movie and then cut back on the special effects department. Most of the zombies in "Night of the Living Deb" were just equipped with that low budget zombie make-up; you know, grayish skin foundation, blackened around the eyes and some theater blood sprayed here and there. It is just a blow to the movie when they don't go all the way with zombie make-up. I am not saying that they needed to show gruesome dismemberment and other such damage caused by zombies, but a proper zombie make-up on those portraying the zombies would have been nice.The acting in "Night of the Living Dead" was good. And it was especially Maria Thayer who carried the movie quite nicely. Michael Cassidy was also contributing a good amount to the movie. And it is always nice to see Ray Wise make an appearance in a movie."Night of the Living Deb" is certainly entertaining enough for what it turned out to be, but it didn't impress me in any way. Nor was it a movie that brought anything overly new to the zombie genre.

kytetiger Night of the Living Deb (2015)Deb wakes up the day after a drunken night at the bar, in the bed of Ryan. Past the confusion, they decide to separate but quickly find that the city was infested by Zombie overnight.The story is very short and simple, with only three small parties. After a rapid first part, we embarked on the adventure. The elements of intrigue and relationships are developed in parallel and progressively throughout the film, which allows a steady flow of new information.Zombie scenes are minimal but in the end, the zombies are put aside by themes that are: the problem of the relationship of Deb, the image she projects, and theme of the responsibility incumbent upon those in power.The problem is that the whole story is buried under a torrent of annoying dialogues. These are just a series of sentences without added values, low rise remarks, embarrassing moment whose protagonist will immediately follow wit an "oops, hehehe" or something like that. The "jokes" are simply recited dialogue, said standing, static and without any dynamism. It constantly breaks the rhythm of the film, each artificially extending the scenes and do not bring personality to the film. It did not make me laugh; instead, I sighed throughout the film. Basically, imagine that humour as a mix between that of Melissa McCarthy and Adam Sandler.Maria Thayer embodied Deb, a journalist who can't keep her tongue in her pocket, but who is also making illusions, both about her relationship, vis-à-vis her importance toward others, and compared to the world of media. The problem is that she does not stop talking. All the time. And to say nothing important! It was only filling, stirring wind, it does nothing for the development of the story and her attitude was embarrassing and unpleasant. Michael Cassidy plays Ryan, a character with a good heart, but his relationship with Deb made strange development jumps, changing dramatically in a few seconds. It has all the hollow of a knight, generic and without personality. Ray Wise meanwhile embodied Frank, Ryan's father, a politician with a bright smile whiter than white. His character was suited to his role, but I found it strange that when he was talking to another character, it was as if he spoke without looking at him in the eye.The special effects were basic, some use of the green background is approximate, but served the film, while the editing was a little soft, leaving some shots too long.A waste of time. 4/10.

beetrix-89498 Deb... Oh, Deb... Smart, fun, resourceful and ever-so-slightly insane.Rankin and Co. created a fast-paced, entertaining romp through the Rom-Zom-Com genre and you won't be disappointed. Old Skool Zombie-movie fans will appreciate the adherence to the Romero-Rules. Comedy fans will enjoy the mix of quick wit and good-old-fashioned slapstick.Romantics will appreciate the genuine heart and camaraderie between Deb and the ensemble.Lots of clever inside jokes for horror fans (especially those who love Stephen King films set in Maine). The use of the quirky small city shines through as a love letter to Rankin's home state.Always great to see Ray Wise in an apron... or anywhere, really. Some of the funniest bits in the movie come from Chris Marquette, who is delightful as a spoiled, militant Papa's boy.Too fun to miss.
