What they say: Bored with booze, strippers and a little light armed robbery, Frank, Keno and Milton plan and execute the perfect bank heist – only to end up in the county morgue after a horrific car crash. Fortunately, Frank’s latest sexual conquest is a demon-worshipping pole dancer with big plans for a trio of crooks who can’t be killed…because they’re already dead. Now, with an intrepid police detective hot on their rotting heels and a girlfriend from Hell pulling their strings, our criminal geniuses have their work cut out for them.

What I say: Independent movie are almost always low budget. The true test of talent in this arena is whether or not you can complete your vision with what you have. The crew here had some good ideas but alas they could not execute them properly.

I mean let’s be honest the whole zombie thing is pretty damn worn out. And when someone tries to do something different it should be commended. However, when you don’t know what kind of movie you are making that’s a problem. Sometimes it’s a comedy, sometimes it’s a zombie movie, sometimes it’s all over the place.

The actors do well with they have but the story is a little too goofy to be taken seriously.

Film: 6/10
DVD: 7/10
