Unfortunately, being too close to the source, he gets killed and reanimated - only to be put out of action by his wife's (Danielle Ackerman) frying pan.<p>Small town cop Sid (Josh Meny) does not really like his life: Despite his uniform, the locals (especially those who went to school with him) don't respect him, his dad (Jesse Head) has been a drunk and an embarrassment ever since his mum has died in a car accident, and when he finally bumps into Mary (Johanna Ciampa), the girl of his dreams, and gets to talk to her, almost chat her up even, something bad happens - something bad like the dead rising from their graves ... which is when he notices this is about more than just his pathetic little life - but will he live through it?<p> <p>Ok, so <b>Zombies of the Living Dead</b> might not break any new ground, storywise, might just play a riff that has been played before quite a few times - but it does so with plenty of panache: The film definitely is gruesome in all the right places, so the die-hard fans will definitely get a kick out of it, but it's also incredibly light-footed in its approach, moves along at a very swift pace, doesn't take itself too seriously and fills especially the tearjerker moments with some kind of irony, and especially (but not only) considering the low budget the movie was made on, the action and effects look really first rate. Great genre entertainment, really, that you might also enjoy if you're not into zombies though. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2015"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
