After "Shaun of the Dead" now comes "Juan of the Dead". No it isn't as good as "Shaun of the Dead", but it's still a zombie flick worth checking out. The zombie chaos happens in Cuba this time around, in fact this is probably the first Cuban zombie movie I seen probably. Unlike "Shaun of the Dead" the remaining survivors are not really likable and a bit inhumane at times. But it's passable since that is one of the elements that add to the humor of this movie. Yes, this is a zombie comedy. It isn't hysterical but there is humorous bits and pieces. The plot is simple and there really isn't anything to it but the execution is what makes this movie entertaining. It's about a group of survivors acting like mercenaries and going around killing zombies for money and than thinks about escaping later on. Although you can tell this flick lacked budget it did a good job of not making it seem like some cheap zombie flick. And it does have creative moments when it shows Juan and the group killing zombies with there own signature weapons. Overall this isn't a memorable zombie flick but it's a good way to pass the time if your in the mood for some zombie massacres.
