As soon as I saw the dvd cover, I knew I had to rent this. For one, the entire film is shot black and white. The story surrounds that of Nurse Patsy, a hopeless romantic having no luck in the dating world and spends her days clutching romance novels and watching the world in love around her.
A new patient comes in one night that strangly enough survived having an axe lodged in his forehead. Nurse Patsy and this mysterious young man who smells like dog shit seemd to hit it off. She appears to just be drawn to him, despite everyone else trying to avoid as much as possible.
One night Nurse Patsey and this young man share a small kiss, one he ends with a slight bit on her bottom lip. Shortly after an all too wise janitor who is smart on all things zombie related kills the young man. Heartbroken, Patsey then morphs into quite the sex kitten on the prowl, as opposed to being distraught over his passing.
Before long Patsey comes to realize she's become a zombie and in order to stop her body from decaying she needs a steady source of fresh flesh. Now call is just pure luck- but she works right above the city morgue, freshly dead corpses for the munching.
This was originally shot to be a silent film and the dialog wasn't added until afterwards, which is occasionally obvious. This release could of been better, too many slow moving parts, but the humour and good scenes make up for it.
I also think these were the cheapest looking zombies out of every movie I've ever scene.
But overall, still worth the rental fee.
Recommended.
