DEADHEADS is the story of two slackers, Mike and Brent, who find themselves reborn as part of a marauding zombie horde. Only, unlike their fellow flesh-eaters, Mike and Brent have a taste for beer, not humans! Unsure what caused him to die in the first place, Mike discovers an engagement ring in his pocket and realizes that his untimely death prevented him from proposing to the love of his life. Determined to remember what happened, and reunited with his love, Mike and Brent begin a cross-country trip. Little do they know they will soon be pursued by a vicious band of vigilante zombie-killing bounty hunters!

There is nothing I didn't love about this film! The heroes of the film are Zombies -- poor Mike wakes up to find himself dead, with some loose ends to tie up, like letting the girl he loves know that he didn't want to leave her. He finds himself another Zombie, Brent, who believes that being dead is no reason to stop living the good life, and off they go! They are pursued by all kinds of people, alive and not-so-alive. The confrontations between the good Zombies and the flesh-eating variety Zombies, and between the good guys and the evil scientists, are inspired! Mike and Brent hitch a ride across the country to find the love of Mike's life...and death....and confront what really happened to him. These zombies are the good guys, and you find yourself rooting for them every step of the way. This is a road trip movie, and buddy flick, a romance, and oh, yeah, a zombie flick. Campy, yes. Funny, definitely! Sam Raimi, move over!

Yes folks this is a Zombie, Comedy, Road Movie with a love interest bags of laughs (you will split your sides - ho ho) and it is great fun. I will give you the basic synopsis. Two Zombies realise that they cannot only still speak but seem to have the ability of free thought, fear and sarcasm too. Mike Kellerman (Michael McKiddy) starts to remember when he was alive and things become clearer when he finds an engagement ring! Yes he was and realises he still is in love - bless. Only problem is he doesn't look his best, he has been dead for three years and apart from the obvious odour issues he has some noticeable bullet holes and his arm keeps falling off.
But help comes in the unlikely looking Brent Guthrie (Ross Kidder), a fellow sentient Zombie, who suggests that they ought to deliver the ring anyway just to put the record straight. This they decide to do and start their road trip with a great old guy Cliff and an adopted Zombie called `Cheese' who seems to respond to doggy commands rather than the usual human banter. Like all good road trips they only have one rule and this is? No eating humans - typical.
The sub plot comes in an evil drugs company who want them dead or experimented on or both, either way they really need to put some space between each other but it aint gonna be easy as they is some bad bottomed mother fornicator types.
This is a film I thought was going to be trashy and the only saving grace being able to fritter away an hour and a half, and I was way off the mark. It is a genre bender in the talking, thinking Zombie angle, but it really works. They are very aware of their situation and take it with acceptance, humour pathos and lots of cod psychology....

I was taken by surprise by this movie at the Austin Film Festival, which was a HUGE hit with the audiences there. Comedy is hard, and directors Brett and Drew Pierce make it look easy. It's a fast-paced zombie romance about a guy who just wants to hit the road to find his girlfriend, and can't understand why everyone's shooting at him! Throw in a mad scientist plot, limbs that keep dropping off at inopportune moments, sufficient gore and a vegetarian zombie, and you've got a really fun movie.
While it's affectionate and faithful to the zombie genre, it introduces new questions into old folklore. For instance, what if someone's immune system is able to resist the virus, so a person only gets a "light" case? "Deadheads" makes you care about the characters, and leaves you rolling your eyes and grinning stupidly at the end. Watch for a very funny and physical Markus Taylor who gets laughs without any actual lines.

I was honored to be at one of the premieres for this movie, and came away impressed by the production value, the snappy dialogue, and well-timed pace of Deadheads. It was, by turns, hilarious, disturbing and tender. And if you're wondering how in the world those three words could ever come together as descriptives--well, I guess you'll just need to treat yourself to a viewing. My opinion is, you'll really enjoy it!

When a film comes with an endorsement from horror legend Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead, Bubba Ho-Tep, Maniac Cop), you're going to pay attention! Campbell stated "In a world of putrid zombie movies, Dead Heads is a breath of fresh air".
Dead Heads is a 2011 horror comedy that comes with the tagline "A road trip to die for." and stars Michael McKiddy (The Retreat, Weenie Roast Massacre) and Ross Kidder (Sam Hell, Caregiver).
With a slew of film festival awards and after reading the synopsis, it certainly seemed like Dead Heads had something new to offer the genre; and to be honest I found the film to have a certain level of charm. However, I could not help but feel that the film was simply a road trip/ buddy movie which happened to feature two undead guys as its protagonists. Perhaps I am desensitised to gore etc now but the whole thing felt to me like some hybrid of horror and a forgettable mid-afternoon TV movie.
McKiddy very much plays the straight-man of the routine with Kidder almost a caricature of a wacky sidekick and for me, there was little in the way of laughs; and initially, I struggled with the concept of these two zombies still being sentient but this is explained during the movie.
The special effects and production values of the film cannot be faulted in the slightest and certainly seems that The Pierce Brothers have spent wisely with their budget. For me, the best character was the zombie hunter McDinkle, as played by Benjamin Webster. In fact, buying the DVD might just be worth it to see the gag reel and the actors cracking up at some of his improvised lines.... Read more ›

Silly
Silly movie from the zombie's perspective. I thought it was cute and I like the different outlook. Sort of corny but cute.

Pretty Funny
This was a decently funny movie and a good addition to the zombie genre. It had some plot holes that showed up at the end, but it was worth the time and money I spent for it.

Bizarre date move
The only thing potential viewers really need to know about this film is that it isn't so much a 'zomedy' as it is a teen romantic comedy...with zombies. Read more

It was okaaay.
Nothing really to write home about... so to speak. It was okay and it did have its moments. Definitely there was a story line there. For funny though... not so much.

Movie quality was excellent. It is hard to find quality zombie movies these days. Story was ok. Effects were decent for the budget. Sometimes...comedy is all you need.
