Anyone who grew up watching George Romero movies on latenight TV yet bemoans the lack of a true successor to ReAnimator or Return of the Living Dead should have a good time with Deadheads which has a ton of references to the former and all the splattery laughs of the latter. While Shaun of the Dead was a romantic comedy that just happened to feature zombies Brett and Drew Pierces debut as writerdirectors contains all the slapstick entrails and grossout gags youd expect from the sons of Bart Pierce the guy who handled special effects photography on The Evil Dead (which is seen playing at a Drivein).

The popularity of AMC's The Walking Dead series testifies to the longevity of this horror subgenre, with the success of Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland prompting more "zombedies." Both of these movies focus on the survival of unaffected individuals during a zombie apocalypse, but DeadHeads takes another road with the story of two zombies just trying to survive and fulfill unrequited love. Written, produced and directed by brothers Brett Pierce and Drew T. Pierce, DeadHeads pays homage to many of the classic zombie/undead films, especially Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead, for which their father Bart Pierce handled the photographic special effects.
DeadHeads centers around Mike Kellerman (Michael McKiddy), who awakens to find himself in a strange place. After escaping, he encounters and runs in fear from flesh-eating zombies. What Mike doesn't quite get is that he is also one of the "undead," as he is able to speak and think regularly.
