Rickie (Shiloh Fernandez) and J.T. (Noah Segan) are the kind of guys who can never get the women of their dreams. In Rickie’s case, it’s Joann (Candice King), who he has known since they were young. The two men leave class early and sneak into an abandoned psychiatric hospital where they find a mute and naked woman (Jenny Spain) restrained. J.T. wants to assault her and his friend explains why he shouldn’t, which should tell you who we’re spending time with in this movie. The next day, they come back and J.T. tells Rickie that the woman is undead. He knows. He’s already killed her three times.
Rickie decides to free her, leaving a hand unchained when J.T. tries to have sex with her. She scratches his face. Things get worse, though, when Rickie decides to ask out Joann, knowing she’s dating Johnny (Andrew DiPalma). He and his friend Dwyer (Nolan Gerard Funk) beat him unmercifully and then make him show the Deadgirl, who ends up biting Johnny’s penis and infecting him. As you can imagine, she is not the last person who gets infected and turned into a member of the walking dead.
Directed by Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel and written by Trent Haaga, this isn’t for everyone. Combining zombies and sex is a mixture that many aren’t ready for and it has some triggering elements of sexual assault. That said, it’s an interesting film that’s well made.
The Unearthed blu ray of this movie is packed with extras, which seems to be a continued highlight from this company. There are new interviews with Hared, Haaga, Segan, Fernandez and makeup artist Jim Ojala, as well as two audio commentaries, one with the cast and crew and the other with Jenny Spain. There are also making of features, Spain’s audition, multiple galleries and a trailer. This label keeps putting so much effort into movies that are under the radar and I’m intrigued by what they plan on doing next. You can get this from MVD.
