Movie Review: I Sat There With My Jaw On The 5 Stars

I'm writing this immediately after checking out the flick, without doing any research in re who wrote it, who directed it, etc; which is fun, because it leaves me here, typing & wondering with astonishment, WHO THOUGHT UP THIS STORY, AND WHAT DREAM OR HALLUCINATION DID THEY JUST WAKE UP FROM?

The plot involves an epidemic of NDH: Near Death Happiness, afflicting girls between the ages of 15-17. The NDH-stricken girls go through approximately one week of sheer emotional bliss, elated yet fully aware of what's going on. After the elation phase, they drop dead, then become reanimated, devouring any human within their grasp. Unable to find a cure for the reanimated schoolgirls, which become nicknamed "Stacys," the government has produced "Romero Squads," (Too cool! For those of you who have delved into Zombie movies, The Romero Squads are a tribute to "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" creator George Romero) who are responsible for the "Rekill," the offing of the dead girl brought back to life.

It gets weird...even considering it's a flick about hungry walking dead folk. Rather than mass despair and suicides by adolescent girls fearing of NDH infection, the girls dream about the knight-in-shining-armour, the sweetheart who will love them, and then valiantly rekill them, once their corpses rise to nibble on the living! See, in this story, aside from Romero Squad members, the only folk allowed to rekill a Stacy are family members or boyfriends.

Which brings us to the black-market Stacy killers, comprised of three stunningly beautiful warrior-girls in the NDH age range, resigned to becoming Stacys one of these days, but idealistic on who will rekill them. They illegally rekill Stacys, hired by Stacy family members who can't find it in them to slaughter their dead loved-ones. The girls are saving their bounty profits to hire a specific dream-boy to rekill them, a sexy young pop-star they are ga-ga over.

This is one original living dead flick that I highly recommend. I've seen bloodier, I've seen higher-budget, but I can't recall seeing one this weird. Despite the storyline of gorgeous schoolgirls, the focus is not on the kinky, but on schoolgirl crushes, true love, and bizarre sentimental twists from start to finish. There are many living-dead films that spotlight the gory (1980's Zombie, various other Euro-Zombie flicks), others that spotlight the campiness (Return of the Living Dead series), and those that run on the suspense and terror (the original "Night of the Living Dead"). This flick combines all three: blood & body parts flying right and left, B-Star Bruce Campbell hawking his own brand of chainsaw on infomercials, and the public despairing over the only grim solutions to the Stacy epidemic. Give this DVD a try, it's worth the time and dough!
