Zombie Dearest

When struggling comedian Gus Lawton pushes his wife to her breaking point, he ends up pursuing her across the country to the deserted farmhouse where she grew up. Faced with the ultimatum of losing Deborah or following her plan, Gus sets to work on renovating the old property, starting with the septic system. In a moment of desperation, he unearths exactly what he needs—a zombie willing to do his bidding, at least for the time being. As the zombie’s own ambitions begin to interfere with their plans, Gus and Deborah find themselves in a frantic battle to achieve their goals, no matter the consequences. “Zombie Dearest” is a genre-defying film that explores the “living dead” within us all—the insatiable cravings and the terror. It’s a thrilling journey that is both cleverly humorous and delightfully eccentric.
