Best movie of this year hands down!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Night of the Living Deb (2015) ** (out of 4)Deb (Maria Thayer) wakes up after a night of drinking in the apartment of Ryan (MichaeL Cassidy). The two quickly try to play off their night but soon they're back together when they realize that a zombie apocalypse has broken out.NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEB isn't the greatest horror spoof ever created but there are a couple nice laughs that help keep it moving but there's really not enough here for a feature-length film. I think this here would have worked much better as a short film because there's really no plot here as we basically see Deb, a rather nerdy person, falling in love with the good looking Ryan and the majority of the film has her being mistreated or taken advantage of. Oh yeah, the other thing is that she is very sarcastic and this is where the majority of the laughs come from.Thankfully both Thayer and Cassidy are good in their roles and this certainly helps since we spend the majority of the running time with them. Thayer is the star here and she turns in a nice performance but I still felt that only twenty-percent or so of her jokes actually worked. The film could have benefited had there been something more going on. Perhaps more in-jokes or at least something more to hold the viewer's attention.As it stands, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEB has a creative title but it's too bad the film itself wasn't more creative.

I didn't really know what this movie was about, nor did I have any real expectations to it. All that mattered was the fact that it was a zombie movie. Sure, I knew that it was going to be a comedy of sorts, but it had zombies in it. And anything with zombies in it, is worth a watch in my opinion.The story had some interesting and good aspects to it, that mostly being the story of socially awkward eb Clarington (played by Maria Thayer), which actually put the zombie outbreak in the background.The comedy elements to "Night of the Living Deb" were present all throughout the entire movie, with the majority of those moments actually bringing about laughs or a big smile. To that point, then director Kyle Rankin was certainly on to something."Night of the Living Deb" was, however, not an impressive movie. And by that I mean that the storyline was a bit too forced and not all aspects of the storyline worked out in favor of the movie.And also the special effects were not overly impressive. Sure, this was not a zombie movie in the traditional sense, so one might debate whether or not it should have had more impressive zombie make-up or not. In my opinion, it should; you can't have a zombie movie and then cut back on the special effects department. Most of the zombies in "Night of the Living Deb" were just equipped with that low budget zombie make-up; you know, grayish skin foundation, blackened around the eyes and some theater blood sprayed here and there. It is just a blow to the movie when they don't go all the way with zombie make-up. I am not saying that they needed to show gruesome dismemberment and other such damage caused by zombies, but a proper zombie make-up on those portraying the zombies would have been nice.The acting in "Night of the Living Dead" was good. And it was especially Maria Thayer who carried the movie quite nicely. Michael Cassidy was also contributing a good amount to the movie. And it is always nice to see Ray Wise make an appearance in a movie."Night of the Living Deb" is certainly entertaining enough for what it turned out to be, but it didn't impress me in any way. Nor was it a movie that brought anything overly new to the zombie genre.

While I wouldn't call it flavor of the month, the last couple of years saw a bit of a rise. Not only of the dead themselves but a rise in zombie comedies with a romantic touch. Some worked better than others, some just try to be a bit funny. And that is what this movie is. It's not an instant classic or anything, but it does what the box says and it's entertaining enough to watch.It starts off innocently enough, just to turn things up and speed things up a bit. The main actress is what either will draw you into it or appall you. I thought she was really funny and did a great job. Of course it's silly, it's meant to be that way. I mean the title along indicates that (how come no one thought of that before I wonder?) ... It's actually pretty easy to decide if you like this or not, but something I can't do for you of course

This movie is so good that I sign on IMDb to give my first review. As some one who watches hundreds of movies a year, it is always refreshing to see something original in a very competitive movie types like Rom-Coms & Zombie films. They seem to be a dime a dozen. So when a film tries to put the two together it's got to be hard to stand out. This film Night of the Living Deb not only succeeds but is outstanding. This Kickstarter back indie film is a perfect example of the great talent that's out there if only given a chance. From the clever title to the end the movie it is fantastic. The clever writing/dialogue will have you laughing out loud. The acting, directing and filming is great. It is the best funny original Rom-Coms of the year. You add the Zombie angle and it falls into a very clever movie. It is filmed in Portland Maine another great bonus. Hats off to ALL involved in this film and if the people behind this film want to fund another Kickstarter film let me know. I'll be one of the first backers. Thank you all for the great art of the film making.Just for the skeptics out there, I had nothing to do with the funding or production of this film, but I wish I was. Just go see it any way you can and enjoy.T-Bohn
