Shaun of the Dead meets Bridesmaids in this disarmingly sweet horror comedy which takes the former's romzomcom overtures and crosses it with than the female slant of the latter. We wouldn't every second leading woman Maria Thayer for the world, but it'd be no stretch to see Kristen Wiig have enough child support in to upon the titular Deb without missing a eradicate.
Waking occurring after a one night stand subsequent to the hunky but uninteresting Ryan (Michael Cassidy) the sparky, frequently exasperating Deb finds herself in a world crawling as soon as the busy dead. Teaming taking place gone Ryan, the pair create their quirk to his affluent baron dad's mansion, where they hope to ride the situation out in relative safety. That's if the family bickering doesn't get sticking together of them first. Dad swine played by the tremendous Ray Wise, there's no chance of a shy zombie apocalypse, that's for sure.
It takes a even if to be the same into Night of the Living Deb's groove (the initial unfolding of its zombie violence sentient thing a little too reminiscent of Shaun of the Dead's) and appreciate Deb as a protagonist, but in the past we acquire there it emerges as one of the most likeable films of the year. There's no denying it plays its comedy too expansive at period, and Thayer's constant wisecracking won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a remarkably chipper sensitivity to the gloomier, more hopeless horror films we have interpret yourself to in our times. The Walking Dead this ain't! Thankfully, as a comedy, it's not The Walking Deceased either, which is a assuage.
