   ★★★★☆

   “Deadheads” is a gorgeous and delightful little RomZomCom/road-movie that I really, really enjoyed.
   Well, we all know that there will never be a zomedy as great as “Shaun Of The Dead” and “Braindead”. Nevertheless, it’s great to see that there are still filmmakers out there who try their best in creating a decently entertaining and original zombie film, like the Pierce Brothers did.

   The plot – simple but great. 2 guys wake from the dead, still able to think, walk and talk like non-zombies, one of them driven by the desire to find his teenage love whom he wants to marry.

   The cast – brilliant. Lead zombies Michael McKiddy and Ross Kidder are plain hilarious, Thomas Galasso as cool tough guy, Harry Burkey as stunningly witty old geezer, the beautiful Natalie Victoria as ‘teenage love’ and Markus Taylor as ‘Cheese’, one of the most likable zombie characters since ‘Bub’ from “Day Of The Dead”.

   The zombies – simply excellent. The ‘human’ zombies look a bit like junkies but all the other ‘real’ oldschool zombies look as if they just stepped out of a Romero-movie.
   There’s also lots of gory and amusing zombie action, incl. detached body parts, bitten throats and torn out intestines

   The humor – amazing. Couldn’t remember any quotes, but I assure you, there are loads of super-funny one-liners that made me LMAO. It’s also packed with highly entertaining and extremely memorable scenes, f.e. the sequence at the drive-in, the forest scene, the school reunion and the intense finale.

   Flaws – in the 2nd half the script runs a bit out of steam, plus: 2-3 characters are often a bit too annoying.

   All in all, I highly recommend this to everyone who loves zombie comedies and/or zombies in general. I’m sure you’ll love it!

   7,5/10
