Zombie Dearest

When struggling comedian Gus Lawton pushes his wife, Deborah, to her breaking point, he ends up pursuing her across the country to the deserted farmhouse where she grew up. Faced with the ultimatum of losing Deborah or adhering to her vision, Gus sets to work on renovating the old property, starting with the septic system. In a moment of desperation, he unearths exactly what he needs—a zombie willing to do his bidding, at least temporarily. As the zombie’s own ambitions begin to interfere with their plans, Gus and Deborah find themselves in a frantic battle to achieve their goals, no matter the consequences. “Zombie Dearest” is a genre-defying film that explores the “living dead” within us all—the insatiable cravings and the terror. It’s an exhilarating journey that is both cleverly humorous and intriguingly offbeat.
