davidfsc Having grown up with the lighter side of the zombie horror genre finding this film while channel hoping was fantastic! A very slight twist on the regular zombie flick (scorpians feature in a random way) there is plenty of green gore, explosions and cheesy one liners. The jock, chick and quick whited sidekick are all there but considering the story this film was surprisingly well acted and scripted never quite tipping the balance to the wrong side of corny. While I'm not sure I really needed to see a slightly less buff then I remember Dean Cain's man boobs this was an incredibly enjoyable film. I would recommended this to anyone who prefers the lighter side of horror.

Paul Andrews Dead & Deader starts 'Somewhere in Cambodia...' as a five man special ops team try to establish contact with a medical team, however things don't go according to plan & they are attacked by flesh eating zombies. In the ensuing fight a grenade is used which kills everyone... Cut to 'Fort Preston, California' where the soldier's bodies have been taken, as he is about to be autopsied Lt. Robert Quinn (Dean Cain) suddenly springs back to life. Elsewhere his special ops buddies also return to life but they come back as ravenous flesh eating zombies unlike Quinn who is relatively normal & considerably more sociable. People have a hard time believing he is one of the walking dead & that a virus is being spread that turns the infected into flesh eating zombies, Quinn decides he has to go it alone & stop the ever growing zombie hordes...Originally made for cable TV & directed by Patrick Dinhut I was extremely surprised to discover that Dead & Deader is a highly entertaining light hearted comedy horror that delivers on both counts. The script by Mark A. Altman & Steven Kriozere which doesn't take itself seriously at all is a lot of fun, it moves along at a great pace & it never bored me. The buddy buddy relationship between Quinn & the cook was pretty funny & they traded one-liners with each other to good effect. There are also lots of self referential dialogue & some really amusing references to other films, I loved the discussion Quinn has with Holly where they debate which version of Dawn of the Dead is better & Holly's passioned speech about why the original is! There's lines about Star Wars (1977), who was the best James Bond, Bullit (1968), an amusing moment when Quinn says 'I smell dead people' in an obvious The Sixth Sense (1999) homage, there are several nods towards superheros including Superman in an attempt to take the mickey out of Cain & a closing line straight from Casablanca (1942)! I thought it worked very well & I must admit I smiled on a few occasions, this type of constant referential dialogue may not appeal to everyone & you may not catch everything first time around. There's some decent horror here as well, there's enough blood & gore to satisfy although during the final 30 odd minutes when it tries to introduce it's main villain & it becomes more serious in tone it loses some of what it had built up. Having said that I was impressed, I mean when I knew this was had been made for cable & starred Dead Cain who would probably attend the opening of an envelope for money these days I feared the worse but maybe it's because I had such low expectations that I liked it so much?Director Dinhut does OK, he keeps things moving along & the action scenes are pretty well handled. I wouldn't say it's scary or gratuitous but it's funny & has a few decent horror sequences. There's some gore including a hand in a mincer, various gunshot wounds, someone head is sliced in a ceiling fan, there are bitten throats, decapitation by meat cleaver, there a few zombie scenes where they feast upon various severed limbs & a decent amount of blood splattered around the place.Technically the film is pretty good, it certainly looks a lot better than a lot of cheap made for cable offerings. The acting is good, Susan Ward makes for good eye candy for the boys & Cain will provide the same for the girls.Dead & Deader far exceeded my expectations which were admittedly none existent, I really liked this humorous fun little zombie film & would definitely recommend it if not for the fact there are already plenty of reviews that totally slate it so maybe I'm in the minority when I reckon it's a great film. If you get the opportunity watch it & decide for yourself...

Vera Well, i have seen better, i have seen worse... but now i just finished looking it and i nearly smiled all the time for the funny gags. If you liked the humor of other films, where they run around in deepest trouble and discuss the quality of other horror films, then it will fit your sense of humor, too. I won't give a plot summary here, for i am German and i hope, you forgive all faults that might appear. Back to topic: this film is for a TV-Production well done and if you are not the one, who aspects million dollars special-effects, but some that are compared to other zombie films very well done, it will be fun to you. Like i just wrote i just finished the film and during writing this i smile all the time for the gags that pass my mind. Well, like everything, it is a matter of taste *ggg*.....

wrlang Dead and Deader is about some insects that infect humans who then become flesh eating zombies. The star is infected, but cuts the insect out before it can fully infect him and helps the living get ride of the infected. I expected the film to be a real bomb, but it wasn't too bad for a cheap TV movie. Not too dark and not too gory as a small group of heroes take on the zombies and the don't ask don't tell military to save the world. Flakey fight scenes and poor fight camera work just make you dizzy watching it. I think I can attribute the film's appeal to the seasoned actors and a lighthearted storyline. It's not too serious and not the best technically, but not a total waste of time.
