Gay Zombie

I saw it as part of The Male Gaze - Hard Love. I fast forwarded through, giving up before the end. I'm not into this type of film metaphor for a gay plague or not. It might have helped had the voices not been so whiningly American.

I didn't find it relevant to my experience at all and can't imagine why it should be so to anyone else's.

Just ridiculous and the stupid ending made my flesh crawl with misplaced mirth.

Daft and very silly, but fun in a way and with a couple of cute guys. I would have liked a bit more nudity for the comedic effect as much as anything else.

I also did wonder, just from a moment near the end, whether it might be a metaphor for aids?

Don't think of this as a zombie movie; think of this as a gay romantic comedy in which one of the characters happens to be a zombie. The audience at the showing I saw squirmed a bit, I suspect in part because they were expecting more horror and fewer make-over montages and, in equal measure, because this film proudly wears its stereotypes on its sleeve. That said, this movie is fun and very funny. If you've ever been young and freshly out of the closet then you are almost certain to recognize everyone and everything in this movie and I couldn't help but be charmed to the core.

The acting is quite good, the comedy works well and the romance is disturbingly tender and believable despite one of the characters being in an advanced stage of decomposition. Truly an unexpected delight.
