A Zomedy about Septic Tank repair!
As Craptacular Compilations, Volume 2 rolls on, the feeling of the zombie flu is hitting me. In the beginning, the Midnight Collection: Zombies compilation was going a lot better then I had expected with some older classics. Yet, the second I got to the movies from the mid-noughties, it all went downhill. Sensing my dismay the horror gods seemed to give me a reprieve. Zombie Dearest is not a great film, but man is it better than the last two on the set.

The movie is about a failed, and really unfunny stand-up comedian who basically cheats on his girlfriend and finds himself fixing up a house she owns out of town as a way to get back in her good graces. While digging up the septic tank to save money he finds a zombie which he makes a wish on accidentally and brings it to life. It is later in the film you find out that apparently when you make a wish while holding a zombie’s Johnson, the wish comes true…Yeah, you read that right. Honestly, though Zombie Dearest isn’t that bad. The goofy premise and a few of the jokes are actually pretty funny. The acting isn’t terrible, and the did what they could with the budget. I also want to praise an indie zombie film that isn’t just about a group of random survivors that need to survive while learning the real evil is mankind. So, that looks good on you Zombie Dearest.

Now, that being said “ZD” sometimes struggles to hold your interest. There is a weird voice-over by the main character at the beginning that leads into having the girlfriend take over the movie for a bit. The comedian then comes back and becomes the main character again, but it was a weird set of events that just didn’t sit right with me from a movie flow perspective. Not that she didn’t deserve to be the main character but that they set him up with this big backstory and then almost gave up on him for 10 minutes like he was out of the film. The movie also seems to sputter a bit in the middle, making me think that maybe shaving off about ten minutes would have made it a bit quicker paced and easier to consume.

Overall though, Zombie Dearest is a bit of surprise on this collection. Not a great film, but really worth at least one view if you don’t mind indie horror, and want to see a different plot to a Z film.

Unique and enjoyable horror black comedy hoot
Failed comic writer Gus Lawton (a fine and likable performance by David Kemker) and his fed-up wife Deborah (excellent work by Shauna Black) are having relationship problems. The troubled couple move to a new house in the remote country in an attempt to patch things up. Complications ensue when Gus unearth obedient zombie Quinto (a credible portrayal by David Sparrow) while digging up a septic tank in the backyard. Director Kemker, who also co-wrote the fresh and imaginative script with Mark Cananagh, firmly grounds the fantastic premise in a plausible workaday reality, makes neat use of harmonic country songs on the soundtrack, and ably mines an inspired line in amusing deadpan black humor (for example, Quinto proves to be an absolute pest who’s impossible to get rid of). The sturdy acting by Kemker and Black holds the picture together; their pleasant and relaxed chemistry is both convincing and engaging. Moreover, there are sound supporting contributions from John Jarvis as Deborah’s affable business partner Donny and Derek McGrath as cranky old coot Uncle Pete. This movie earns bonus points for being something different and out of the ordinary; it’s genuinely eccentric without ever becoming forced or cutesy about it. Michel Bisson’s sharp cinematography and the moody score by Kemker and Slater Jewell-Kemker are both up to speed. A fun flick.
