Honestly, I can't stress enough that this movie, while not particularly good on the surface, is much smarter than it appears. The entire cast acts under the hazy impression that rising zombies aren't that out of the ordinary. Seeing a high-schooler chastise his undead friend for eating another student with the line "Colleges look at this sort of thing!" is indicative of the type of humor at work here. Take it for what it's worth. No, this isn't Oscar material, but 20 years from now, this will be a cult classic. I laughed all the way through at the concept of a zombie's (living) parents gleefully assisting in his cannabalism. But hey, that's just me.

man i really love this movie. this film is so much fun. it's hokey and cheesy. It's also FUNNY AS HELL! Don't listen to the numb-skulls that say it sucks. those people need to go see a proctologist b/c there is something stuck up their.......anyway, this movie is a lot of fun to watch. i've seen it too many times to count & i never get sick of it. i liken it to the princess bride in that way (before anyone jumps down my throat for that comment i am NOT comparing these 2 movies. they are totally different. i just want to say that i enjoy the humor in each so much that i always feel like watching both movies over & over again.) every character is funny in his/her own way & all are played well by the actors. many of whom i recognize but i don't know their names. i know the dad is the guy that played the head vampire in lost boys. otherwise i'm not sure who they are but they are funny! The doctor is absolutely hilarious, i think he might be my favorite character.

I saw this movie a couple years ago and thought it was really funny. I've tried to tell a couple people that I work with about it but they don't seem to remember it or have no clue what I am talking about.

On another note, to Movie Lover, the name of the song is "Hanging on for Dear Life" by MMC. I can promise that this is correct, because I just bought the CD and the song is on it.

This black comedy is not great art. It's silly, cheesy, and totally ridiculous....and I like it!!. I'm always a sucker for stupid B movie films like this. It's fun and funny in a really stupid way. Andrew Lowery stars as a kid who has the hots for a girl. In an attempt to show off to her, he gets killed by a store robber. He comes back as a zombie and begins to live life as if nothing ever happened. Of course, there are certain body parts that fall off and stuff, but that's to be expected from a rotting corpse. There are a few jokes and gags in here that are genuinely funny, in a sophmoric way. The best come from chacrter actor Austin Pendleton as a nutty doctor. The rest of the cast include : Paul Dooley, Edward Herrmann, Cloris Leachman, and Mary Beth Hurt. It's a juvenile comedy with a somewhat delightful and appealing presence. If your into that sort of thing, then you will probably enjoy this. Otherwise, stay far away.

I loved this movie. So did my children. The music was great as well! Does anyone know where I can get the soundtrack? I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a good sence of humor and enjoys "date movies". I can't wait until they re-release it so I can purchase a copy hopefully on dvd.

i liked this movie and a thought it was fun even if it looks like them movies that people end up no likeing because of the fact that it is pretty cheezy. well i enjoy it.

This movie features: Matthew Fox from Tv's Lost and Party of Five, Oscar winner for Capote Philip Seymour Hoffman, Matthew McConaughey, and I have been told if you look closely you can even spot Renée Zellweger! Not just that but it's a great movie too! If you like Shaun of the dead you will love this DVD! It may not have any special features but hey... It's my all time fave movie on DVD I am not going to complain! Great quality and perfect sound!!! Very great movie that is guarenteed to make you laugh!

I couldn't believe when I first read that this wonderful, witty, funny movie is on DVD. I now finally own it on DVD and it's just fantastic. The picture quality is really good, the sound is beautiful-no complaints. I'm so happy with it. Now some people might think that this is a silly, maybe even cheesy movie, but it's quite the opposite.The casting is perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. I absolutly LOVE TRACI LIN or is credited as Traci Lind with a d. Every film I see her in I love, She is just spectacular. She really is one of the best actress' of her time. I hope and pray that Fright Night 2' gets a DVD release. The storyline in this film is just charming and one of a kind.Johnny Dingles love for Missy McCloud is sweet and believeable. The end sequence is the cream of the crop. This is one of those films where you just feel good. There's a good feeling about this film. And it delivers on all fronts.

I have an unnatural obsession with this movie. I saw it several years back (I guess right when it hit cable) and I've loved it ever since. Every other reviewer here seems to claim that it's not Oscar material and blah blah blah. If the only movies you watch are those you think will win awards, you're missing out on many great flicks.

You may not like this film, that's obvious. I found it to be hilarious, though, and that's how I tend to judge and review comedy films. The attitudes the characters have to the events in this movie make it exceptionally humorous, especially in the case of the mother. Rent this movie and see if you like it. If you don't, at least you'll have the material to write a truly awful review here. Writing bad reviews is so much more fun that writing good ones, after all.

Not so fast people - this movie may not be as bad as you think. I think it sets out to do everything it accomplishes. It's supposed to be a hokey, cheesy movie about a zombie; that softens the blow for what it's really about. In some of Johnny's darkest moments, I can see myself. A zombie? No. The ultimate outcast, doomed to be unpopular no matter what I do, heralded as a dork even after I'm dead? Yeah, that's me. Or it has been me. Or I have a cousin who was like that. No matter where you are on the high school caste system, you can probably relate. And then, in that touching scene near the end of the movie, I can see a subplot. Two teens, torn apart by popularity, only to discover each other too late. *sniff* C'mon, this movie never tried to be an Oscar contender, but it delivers what it promises, which is more than I can say for, oh, I don't know, TITANIC.
