Review
It's no Rocky Horror. I saw Song of the Dead in NYC at the Pioneer Theater. I'm shocked that someone called it low-budget. I thought it was shot on 35mm. Plus it was full of special effects that looked real. I love zombie movies and this film might just rank up there with Dawn of the Dead and Zombie in my book. I just need to see it a few more time. This film really has 2 sides. One side is a campy, fun adventure with singing and dancing, the other side is a smart political satire that is well written and beautifully acted. Kate Gorman (Sandy) and Conrad Gubera (Harold) are a great pair as a father and daughter zombie fighting team. Having two sides makes this film an instant classic. I could see this on stage. Check it out Broadway people. I want the DVD ASAP! If you want another Rocky Horror Picture Show then don't go see this film. It's no Rocky Horror, Song of the Dead is actually a thought provoking, good film that's also a lot of fun. --carlhope76 From IMDB
Product Description
This internationally award winning zombie musicalcomes complete with sexy dancing zombies and a rock opera score. Political satire congeals with buckets of blood that appeals equally to fans from a multitude of genres. Song of the DEAD is Night Of The Living Dead meets The Who s Tommy with a splash of Shaun of the Dead . All across America, the Jihad Resurrection Virus (JRV) seeps into the pores of the dead, waking them from their sleep and ghoulishly transforming peaceful corpses into flesh-devouring zombies. News anchors and government officials are conveniently vague about the circumstances surrounding the biological release of JRV and subsequent zombie infestation. The President (Reggie Bannister, Phantasm films and Bubba Ho-Tep) calls upon Americans to unite and resist the treacherous terrorist attack. One Missouri family at the heart of this tragedy struggles to cope with existing internal conflicts while battling these bloody, malodorous zombie terrorists.
