Review

When I first heard about this movie, I have to say, I really wasn’t expecting too much from it. I thought that it would just be another crappy, porno type, teeny bopper style horror. Got to admit, after watching it, I couldn’t have been more wrong. This film is a lot better than you think it will be. The plot itself is actually quite simple. 2 high school seniors bunk school one day and come across an old abandoned psychiatric hospital. Inside they find a naked mute woman who they later find out is actually un-dead. One of the guys wants to release her whilst the other wants to keep her as some kind of sexual play thing. Events soon spiral out of control.

The film almost has a slight high school movie vibe to it, but that soon changes as the film goes on. It becomes much darker and much more sadistic. The film is full of gore, violence and explicit behaviour. This is one of the only films that I have watched were you are actually on the zombies side and wish that they would just kill every fucker on there. This is probably because abuse is abuse at the end of the day, even if they are un-dead.  
 

There is a part where one of the main guys convinces another guy to receive oral from the dead girl, which he happily goes along with. She then bites into his dick. Blatantly my favourite scene!! The ending scene is also pretty good, and almost poignant in a way. What lengths would you go to; to save the one you love?

This film is a perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. It may not be to everyone’s taste and at some parts it can be a tad slow but give it a chance. It really is a lot more original than you will think. I certainly recommend you watch it.    

Rating: 7/10 – Move over Rob Zombie, there’s more than one living dead girl in town!
