Like John Landis said about this film, “The first truly romantic flesh eating corpse movie”. It seriously is, and all kinds of heart to back it up. A fantastic date movie if you ask me. It gets really deep into all kinds of emotions and then tears it all back out. My kind of flick. The wife loved it too.
Denise (Tracey Coogan) and Danny (Graham Sibley) get married, they seem like the happiest couple ever. All over each other like white on rice. They reach their honeymoon destination, which happens to be the Uncles pad down by a beautiful beach. They waste no time in celebrating. They head down to the beach to relax for a few. While catching some rays, Denise notices something surfacing from the water, getting closer and closer. Before it’s too late, a zombie clamps down on Danny and before you know it, Danny ingested some spew from the zombie and bye bye Danny. She rushes him to the hospital. They quickly try their best to revive, but no dice. Danny is dead and Denise is shattered. Before the Doc can give her the bad news, Danny wakes like nothing even happened. Denise is relieved and pretty much on their way they go. Danny feels O.K. Not to long before Danny’s non existent vegetarian diet soon turns to the red meat, in a very saucy way. Denise finds Danny feeding on innards of a local. What is she to do? She sticks to her vows and stands beside her man. Day after day, Danny’s hunger keeps getting the better of him and soon Denise seems to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. Go to the cops? Get out of the country? She decides to flee before it really becomes too late. Or is it. Danny keeps rotting and feeding and rotting and feeding. More die. More are eaten‘. A finale you and your mate want to find out about.
Yes folks, this is pretty well and chick flick with a meaty plot. A very emotional rollercoaster. I would recommend this to all sorts of common folk. Those into something into 50 FIRST DATES with SHAUN OF THE DEAD. A package fun for the relationship kind. Even though my wife is a fan of horror, she would recommend this to a few of her buddies common place buddies as well. A tear jerker with guts, and lots of it. The make-up was great, the cast was outstanding, the music was fitting, especially the ending with the classic 50’s “Stand By Your Man”. The whole film reeked of raves.
The behind the scenes include deleted scenes, trailers, audition tapes and a clip from Chris Garetano’s Horror Business Documentary about the life of B -films. A huge choice of the year in my opinion. If the wife loved it just as much as I did, then it did it’s job quite well.
