Philip,
Konrad and Weener are your typical high school students, ones
a nerd, ones a good hearted fella and ones a party
animal, but one thing they all are is a bunch of complete dorks.
There picked on by the jocks, snubbed by the babes and laughed
at by everyone else. Even the goth kids think that theyre
lame-asses. But all of that changes for the three amigos when
theyre killed in a horrible car crash. And since their deaths,
they have really been living it up!
Take
your average teen sex comedy, throw in some voodoo and Romero-esque
zombie fun and you have Night of the Living Dorks, a flick
that comes back from the grave to have some true fun with the
living. Basically Night of the Living Dorks is American
Pie if it was written by George Romero. Its got sex,
humor and of course zombies, well only three zombies, but one
zombie is all you need, right?
Anyway
our three friends attend Frederich Nietzsche High School, I only
mention that because this flick is a German import, where their
lives are the classic adolescent hell, but after snorting a little
Haitian voodoo powder and having a small car accident our friends
soon find out that something is a little different about them
and its something a little more hardcore than puberty.
The
film is really a blast when it shows our friends having fun with
their new abilities, like not feeling any pain and being able
to twist and bend their selves in any position, but more importantly
they find out that when youre a zombie, alcohol and drugs
have no long term effects on you. I bet you Paynecraft is feeling
the love in that last sentence.
But
as fun as all that stuff is, there are a few draw backs to being
a zombie as well, like the hunger for flesh, the rotting appendages,
the constant stink and the even more horrific loss of genitals
in times of dire need.
The
film does a great job on the mixing of the horror and comedy,
there isnt a gushing amount of blood, but there are quite
a few good spurts here and there and on other occasions its
laugh out loud funny. But on the whole the story flows very well
and the entire runtime is very enjoyable to behold.
The
dubbing is kind of annoying at times and the subtitles require
you to be a speed reader for this one as there are always multiple
people on screen, but other than those gripes, Night of the Living
Dorks is some pretty damn fine entertainment, well except for
the jerk off quick-draw contest, I really could have done with
out that scene.
I
give Night of the Living Dorks 7 of 10 ass bites.
