Saw it under the title "The Dead At The Door"
Was wondering why I could find almost no evidence of this film's existence; it was listed on AmazonPrime with the name "The Dead At The Door" and I watched it in February 17th, 2019.
The synopsis given for this film was too much to pass up on. I almost regretted it, as the film starts with a very blurry, monochrome picture, featuring some psychopath reciting an inexplicable monologue about being a morning person to someone just off-screen behind us. It was almost enough to make me turn off the film, but I was stuck to it just for the synopsis.
This film seems to have everything going against it, as apparently being so low budget as to have to turn to a camera made just after 2001 but not too far after.
Once the main character (thankfully not the psychopath) steps out of the house, he's greeted by three zombies in some truly terrible makeup... and he casually walks past him and goes to his car. Through a voice-over from him, painfully acted in a droning monotone, we learn there was a Zombie Apocalypse years ago, and it was somehow discovered that, after you stop shooting them for a while, they go into a docile-like state and actually don't attack anyone.
It's further explained that, like in The Walking Dead, normal people who die of natural causes will turn into zombies now. This has the added effect of new-style cemeteries in which the dead are herded into fenced enclosures and family members can come by and visit them. For some reason, they will eat oats. The US government has them federally protected and it is a felony to attack a zombie.
The middle of the film is vital to the film plot overall but feels like somewhat of a distraction. The protagonist's sister is obsessed with her ex-boyfriend who died and keeps visiting his zombie in one of the zombie cemeteries. This leads to the very bad decision from the protagonist to decide to kill the zombie ex-boyfriend to try to let her get over it.
The rest of the film covers exactly why the US government made attacking zombies a felony, and suddenly this extremely low budget film starts churning out some truly fantastic makeup work (one zombie without eyes is truly horrifying) and becomes fun.
