Night of the Living Deb Audience Reviews

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Michael Ledo In environmentally friendly Portland, Maine, shy Deb (Maria Thayer) throws herself at pretty boy Ryan (Michael Cassidy) while at a bar. Neither remembers anything about the night before and Ryan wants to give her the boot from his apartment. Deb, meanwhile, makes it difficult for him. The next thing you know there is a local zombie outbreak.This is a fun comedy romance with zombies. Maria Thayer nails it and I couldn't help think about how she was Emma Stone good. The comedy and one liners oozed sweetly during much of the film. The graffiti throughout the town was funny for those that bother to look at it. Original and fresh.Guide: 1-2 F-bombs. No sex or nudity. Syd Wilder spilling out of her top.
Michael_Elliott Night of the Living Deb (2015) ** (out of 4)Deb (Maria Thayer) wakes up after a night of drinking in the apartment of Ryan (MichaeL Cassidy). The two quickly try to play off their night but soon they're back together when they realize that a zombie apocalypse has broken out.NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEB isn't the greatest horror spoof ever created but there are a couple nice laughs that help keep it moving but there's really not enough here for a feature-length film. I think this here would have worked much better as a short film because there's really no plot here as we basically see Deb, a rather nerdy person, falling in love with the good looking Ryan and the majority of the film has her being mistreated or taken advantage of. Oh yeah, the other thing is that she is very sarcastic and this is where the majority of the laughs come from.Thankfully both Thayer and Cassidy are good in their roles and this certainly helps since we spend the majority of the running time with them. Thayer is the star here and she turns in a nice performance but I still felt that only twenty-percent or so of her jokes actually worked. The film could have benefited had there been something more going on. Perhaps more in-jokes or at least something more to hold the viewer's attention.As it stands, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEB has a creative title but it's too bad the film itself wasn't more creative.
Argemaluco On the beginning, they seemed anomalies which were difficult to classify into horror cinema, but eventually, the "zombie romantic comedies" (also known as "zom-rom-coms") earned a niche into fantastic cinema. Night of the Living Deb is an addition to that category with an excellent sense of humor and an affable narrative which places more emphasis on the romance than the zombie crisis... something I ended up liking much more than I expected. Like any romantic comedy, Night of the Living Deb includes numerous clichés, but screenwriter Andy Selsor knew how to bring them a twist, making them less predictable; for example, the obligatory romantic triangle between Deb, Ryan Waverly and his fiancé Stacy is tangentially related to the origin of the zombie infestation, creating an interesting dynamic in which Ryan's powerful family is also involved, because they don't want to see the oldest son (and possible heir of the family empire) in a relationship with a humble middle-class camerawoman. As I previously said: clichés, but very well implemented as catalysts of the narrative. Oh, and besides, the great Ray Wise as the father of the groom. What can go wrong? Another pro is the sense of humor from the main character, perfectly played by Maria Thayer as the classic "adorable harebrained" we genuinely want to see triumphing against adversity. I liked seeing Thayer finally playing a leading role after uncountable works as "guest star" in many sitcoms and TV series (including some of my favorite ones: 30 Rock, The Mindy Project and New Girl). Her exuberant performance complements Deb's personality without ever making her irritating or affected. And even though Thayer is an attractive redhead, she doesn't reach the unreal standard of Hollywood beauty who automatically nullifies the "normal girl with a bad luck for love" premise. I'm sorry if that sounds sexist, but I'm tired of all those roles with gorgeous actresses who try to look "ugly" in order to convince us of their incapability of attracting men; if only they take their glasses off... I think I have already spoken enough about the romance. What about the zombies? Frankly, Night of the Living Deb doesn't take the living dead threat very seriously; yes, we see some blood, there are a few "head shots" and some unfortunate bites on characters we hadn't expected to see infected; but in general, the zombies are a source of humor instead of horror. Fortunately, Selsor didn't rely on tedious artificial conflicts to complicate the relationship between Deb and Ryan, so the zombies are also employed as an obstacle the couple must overcome to be happy. There are no misunderstandings, or surprising revelations, or courtships which start being a bet until becoming real, or similar foolishness. We just have a likable couple mutually attracted to each other, caught in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. In my opinion, that worked brilliantly, because I found Night of the Living Deb an excellent zom-rom-com which didn't need any big tricks to keep me very amused. The likable interaction between Deb and Ryan is the main course; the zombies are just a seasoning of the romance.
BA_Harrison After a drunken one night stand with pretty boy Ryan (Michael Cassidy), zany redhead (ie., effin' irritating ginger) Deb Clarington (Maria Thayer) discovers that the town of Portland, Maine, is in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.Although clearly modelled after Shaun Of The Dead, Night of the Living Deb doesn't come anywhere near to matching the charm, wit or originality of Edgar Wright's classic zombie comedy, the film offering up tepid humour and lacklustre living dead action, with Thayer putting in a performance that can best be described as thoroughly annoying—five minutes in her company and I would seriously be considering throwing myself to the flesh-eaters.Ray Wise and Chris Marquette are the most recognisable actors in this mess (Shawn C. Phillips doesn't count), but I bet they wish that they weren't.
