Juan of the Dead (2011)

Juan of the Dead (NR) - Review

"Embargo Couldn't stop this?"

A spanish language rip off of Shawn of the Dead, both in plot and title, Juan is a middle aged slacker in Cuba.  When the undead begin to rip apart his not-quite-beloved society, Juan and his slacker cohorts band together to exploit the situation and keep his young daughter safe.  Using zombie-ology as a pastiche for the wrongs of communism is a good idea, but all the zany humor, gaffing at the camera, absolute no brainer script and iffy special effects makes this one hard to swallow, even with a pile of salt.
