Juan of the Dead
Let’s say you’re in Havana de Cuba and the streets are filled with undead vermin looking to suck your blood and devour your flesh. Enter stage left a band of outsiders who would much rather drink themselves stupid than chase down zombies with machetes, but they do it anyway. Add a dash of political criticism against the Castro regime, stir, and you’ve got yourself the hottest zombie comedy of the year.
Let’s say you’re in Havana de Cuba and the streets are filled with undead vermin looking to suck your blood and devour your flesh. Enter stage left a band of outsiders who would much rather drink themselves stupid than chase down zombies with machetes, but they do it anyway. Add a dash of political criticism against the Castro regime, stir, and you’ve got yourself the hottest zombie comedy of the year. In the midst of all the zombie madness, good-for-nothing Juan spots the potential to make a killing and starts his own company "Juan de los Muertos", carrying out zombie exterminations at affordable prices. The fact that his staff consists of highly unqualified and untrustworthy individuals makes his mission even more impossible. Scathing one-liners, inventive gut-spilling and lots of DIY blood makes "Juan of the Dead" a perfect candidate for the b-movie pantheon, while still allowing the film to retain a revolutionary aesthetic, all its own, scattering body parts (and laughter) wherever it goes.
