Flaky young lass Deb Clarington (a lively and appealing portrayal by adorable redhead Maria Thayer) and hunky Ryan Waverly (a solid and likeable performance by Jack Cassidy) find themselves in the middle of a sudden zombie outbreak in Portland, Maine. Can the pair stay alive long enough to fall in love?
Director Kyle Rankin not only keeps the enjoyable story zipping along at a brisk pace, but also maintains an amiable lighthearted tone throughout. Andy Selsor's witty script offers a nice array of colorful wacky characters and delivers lots of choice gut-busting snappy one-liners. Thayer and Cassidy make for engaging leads; they receive sturdy support from Ray Wise as Ryan's jolly rich dad Frank, Chris Marquette as Ray's macho jerk brother Chaz, and Syd Wilder as Ray's snooty fiancé Stacy. Thomas E. Ackerman's sharp cinematography gives this picture a pleasing polished look. An absolute hoot.
