Deadgirl


We’ve all had those teenage problems; can’t get a date, can’t get laid. And we’ve all had that fantasy of the girl/guy of your dreams being gagged, bound and generally just a zombified fuck toy. No? Just me? No!

Created in the twisted mind of Trent Haaga, ‘Deadgirl’ is about two unpopular teenage boys named Rickie and J.T. who get drunk and stumble across a ‘zombie’ in an abandoned asylum. Rather than call the police or her (possibly) worried family, the boys decide to keep her. They fuck her and kill her over and over again. I’m quite sure you could have a drinking game based entirely around how many times the main characters’ names are said. Nevertheless, it’s an amazingly fun little tale about the trials and tribulations of coming of age.

Sure, we have actors obviously in their mid twenties playing 16 and 17 year olds, but we also have people fucking a zombie, so let’s not lose sight of the bigger, better picture. But the acting isn’t terrible; and by the end there are moments where you actually find yourself feeling for the characters that are ravaging the corpse. In fact, the ending makes the entire film in my mind, and since I refuse to spoil it for those who haven’t seen ‘Deadgirl’, I can’t say too much about it. Suffice to say, however, it’s exactly what should have happened.

There’s not a lot of gore, there are a few laughs and there’s an ending that does exactly what the end of a story should do, leave you feeling complete and pleased with how the events went.

Side note:
There really is a lot more I can say about ‘Deadgirl’, but rather than hype up a movie that can simply come down to a matter of taste, I’ve stripped my opinion down to the bare essentials.
