Greetings my shambling shuffling friends.
I have been planning a road trip this summer, so when the chance to watch the zombie roadtrip movie DEADHEADS came along, I jumped at the opportunity so it could help me get in the zone.
DEADHEADS is written and directed by Brett and Drew Pierce and brought to us by Frobro Films.
A bumbling four eyed dork who reminds me alot of the wimpy dentist from The Hangover, awakens to find tubes sticking out of his body and stumbles into the heart of a regional zombie epidemic, where he meets his main sidekick for the rest of the film, who acts alot like the blonde slacker from the movie Up A Creek. These two guys are intelligent zombies, while the rest act like typical Romero zombies.
After escaping containment, these two intelligent zombies and a lil yellow bus acting Romero zombie named Cheese set out on the road to help our four eyed friend find the girl of his dreams, so he can propose to her as he intended before waking up dead. But hot on our heroes tails is a zombie slayer and two nit wits that work for the dream girls military father who is head of the bio weapons division that created the zombies.
These two groups bump heads regularly through the film, and keep the DEADHEADS going at a great pace.
Let us check the G.R.E.A.T. score.
Gore: great gross out gags, top notch special effects, and impressive zombie makeup 9.0
Realism: DEADHEADS was so much of a comedy that realism is thrown out the window, but very impressive production values, and good costumes for all the characters involved 7.75
Entertainment: This movie is funny, and will keep your attention 8.0
Acting/action: good action, and most of the actors were good at their roles, although the bearded zombie hunter annoyed me with his attitude 7.5
Thrills: well it was a comedy, so no out right thrills, but some of the bloody scenes were a thrill to watch. 7.5
The total G.R.E.A.T. score is 7.95 out of 10.
You can find DEADHEADS at your local video store or buy it online from Amazon.com.
So will our four eyed friend find the girl of his dreams and pop the question, or will her military dad pop a cap in his ass?
You will have to watch DEADHEADS to find out.
Thanks for reading, and until my next post, I will be shuffling along with the lost.
