So ok, it was a Halloween party, Kyle (Kyle Porter), dressed up as a
zombie, got a little (as in very) drunk and stumbled onto someone's lawn
which he shouldn't have ... but hey, that happens to the best of us,
doesn't it? (Don't answer that!) Thing is, the lawn he stumbled onto was
Millie's (Susan O'Gara), and Millie's hell-bent to become a TV star for
having captured a live (undead?) zombie - in this day and age where
there's no actual proof for the existence of zombies. And she's so happy
to have captured Kyle now (who she holds chained up in her garage) that
she just won't listen to reason - and the fact that Kyle might look like a
zombie but doesn't act like one and does speak very comprehensibly won't
deter her from her path to zombiehunter-stardom ... or so she thinks,
anyways ... Genre fave Joel D. Wynkoop will crack you up as zombie
hunting TV personality. At a time where zombie movies are
pretty much a dime a dozen, writer/director Lynne Hansen actually manages
to find a new approach to things, turning her "zombie"-story
into a dark yet irreverent comedy-cum-media satire, and she comes up with
a little film that will (ironically) gross out the audience not even half
as much as it does the characters on screen - and that works totally for
the film, in a day and age where pretty much everything about zombies is
said alreadyshe puts the clichés onto their heads and finds quite a bit
to laugh by doing so. Pretty hysterical, actually.
