Review of Dead and Deader

Starring Dean Cain and Susan Ward.

I liked this movie! This is a zombie movie made for the fans. Do not get me wrong it did not make fun of itself; it was not a silly horror. Dead and Deader actually mentions other zombie flicks (Dawn of the Dead – old and new) and uses dwells on information in them.
This direct to cable movie stars Dean Cain, the new sci fi golden child, as a zombie. Yes, a hero that is a member of the undead. He and his token black sidekick, who is dressed through half the movie as Michael Jackson in Thriller, are looking for the rest of his mercenary team that was returned from Cambodia to be buried. All of his team are now zombies of course, and they must destroy them before they create new “2nd generation” zombies. Also let us not forget that it does have Susan Ward in this movie, which makes it visually stunning. It is a great afternoon-killer type movie, so I recommend setting the TIVO for this one!


Since this original post in February, Dead and Deader has been release on DVD. I would recommend this as a BUY -since it will probably not return to Sci Fi.
