Plot: This one-time 42nd Street midnight-movie favorite plays like a blackly comic blend of '50s cult-classic I Was a Teenage Werewolf and '80s horror satire Return of the Living Dead, set to an assortment of funky new-wave tunes. The story involves a gang of high school delinquents who murder the slimeball drug dealer (Steve McCoy) who sold them a substandard bag of weed, disposing of his body in a river laced with nuclear waste from a nearby power plant. Before long, the putrid pusher slithers to the surface as a sickly green zombie, bent on slaying the teens who dunked him in the drink. As a desperate countermeasure, the kids steal the body of the zombie's first victim from the morgue and dump him in the same river, creating an undead ally to defend them. Though at times too self-consciously loony, this horror comedy is certainly lively enough to merit its nominal cult status. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

Funny In A Dumb Way
Added 7/9/2009

I remember the first time I saw this when I was little I thought it was a good movie but of course I always loved those cheesy horror flicks and my mom would get so mad at me for watching it cause of some sexual activity going on and she thought I was too young for that.
So for years and years I never got to watch it again til it came on t.v. one night and I watched it and relived alot of good memories from watching it before and this time I didn't watch it around my mom and even though I am old enough to watch stuff like that she still gets a bit upset with me.

THE MOVIE IS AN ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC INDIE FLICK THAT WAS VERY FUNNY AND MADE THE WAY IT WANTED IT TO BE MADE,EVEN IF THE BUDGET WAS LOW AND THE ACTING STUNK. PLEASE CRITERION,ANCHOR BAY,OR SYNAPSE RELEASE A GOOD DVD OF THIS CLASSIC MOVIE. ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND I WATCHED AND RECORDED IT EVERYTIME IT WAS ON IFC AND RENTED IT AT SOME VIDEO STORE.

PS:
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THE BUDGET WAS FOR THIS MOVIE AND WHERE IT WAS FILMED,I THINK IT WAS FILMED IN SAN FRANCISCO OR HOUSTON.

PSSSSS:
IS THERE A WAY WE CAN RE-RELEASE THE OLD CD OR CASSETTE OF THE SONGS IN THE MOVIE. I LOVED THE SONGS IN THIS FILM AND IT WOULD BE COOL TO HEAR THEM AGAIN. MY FAVORITE SONG WAS THE ONE SUNG BY THE FLESHTONES THAT WENT "I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE".

FUNNY AS HELL!
Added 3/12/2006

This movie looks like it was filmed with a camcorder! I didn't realize, when I purchased this DVD, that it was going to be a total amateurish delight! I mean the editing is even horrible, the sound doesn't match up! The acting is atrocious! The storyline is pathetic! I LOVE IT! There's a scene where the Hispanic, zombie, drug-dealer rapes a hapless teenage girl to death! He breaks her body in half and all she says is "You can't do thaaaaaaaaaat!" In another hilarious scene a cop, who is hot on the trial of the zombie drug peddler, gets punched in the forehead and sort of has a 2 second delayed reaction to the pain. Then he falls backward and screams like a dying duck! Oh, I'm telling you buy this movie! If you love watching horrible actors not totally devoted to their parts, this one is for you!

HALARIOUS! ONE OF MY NEW HORROR FAVES!!!
Added 7/13/2005

I was a teenage zombie...when i purchased this movie i didn't know what to expect...I was EXTREMELY IMPRESSED, the movie is funny and it has mild gore (due to image entertainment's editing crew). I would highly recommend buying this movie if you have some extra cash, if u like movies like Evil Dead 2, Bad Taste, or Evil Ed this is definatly one to put in your collection. Anyways to let you know all horror films i've bought that image entertainment has released has cut out a lot of the gore scenes. I probably would next expect to see this movie re-released by a different company due to lack of popularity and peoples lack of humor.
