AnusPresley ... but that's not an endorsement.Retards and zombies is a genre sorely lacking, but this effort did not hit home. There is squeamishness evident throughout at laughing at the intellectually handicapped - which kills the whole premise. C'mon, if you are going to make fun, you need to let go with both barrels or not at all. This squeamishness is what undid what could have been a true cult keeper.I expected a _Police Academy_ brand of American idiocy. In this regard at least I was surprised. Nowhere near that level of dumbness. Zombies are good. Story not entirely predictable. Acting is passable. Still, opportunity squandered. I imagine what could have been in the absence of guilt and ethics. A _Bad Taste_ on steroids. Sadly, this blew it.Worth seeing with pizza and a case of beer. But very easily forgotten.

fastfrede909 this movie was a lot of fun to watch and was better than expected. The more you drink the better it gets!. the are a lot of funny quotes that make this movie a classic. I compare it to the first Friday the 13th with a lot better dialog. Jay Brubaker definitely has a promising future and makes owning this DVD a must. the girls are definitely hot which make me looking for more nude scenes, like when Mack was boning the zombie chick. or when the two girls are fighting, a top flying off wouldn't have been a bad thing. I was shocked on how hard it was to find this movie, net flix, blockbuster should be carrying this movie for rental, their is a huge market for these kinds of movies that is not being tapped. This is a guilty pleasure that should be more accessible.

fancymandrell That line made the entire movie worth the watch. The character of Todd Slater is off the hook funny. His relationship with Dale Stone is one of the funniest, cutest and weird relationships in film. Yeah, yeah, I know I am talking about a zombie film dealing with the mentally handicapped, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun and endearing characters. There is enough blood and gore in this movie to keep even the most hardcore zombie fans interested. But the movie does not take itself seriously and that is what makes the movie work. It knows it is a zombie comedy and it knows it is a low budget movie at that, but that is what makes the movie. Funny, funny, funny, funny, funny and even funny. That is the best way to describe this great zombie drive in movie.

tburke78 I saw Special Dead over the weekend at the Hollywood Film Festival and it was a whole bunch of fun! The movie was creative. Yes it was low budget and had some technical flaws. But overall, the story was fun to watch. Some scenes, like the one with campfire and the guy with the nun-chucks, were very funny. Other scenes were very bloody. As someone who likes this type of movie, I left the theater knowing I had seen a cult classic. I really hope I can rent/buy it soon. This is the perfect midnight cult movie. If you like zombie movies and are looking for a silly take on the whole zombie thing, then this is a good movie. If you don't have a sense of humor, you might not like this movie. This movie gets my vote as a Bloody Gem.
