Leofwine_draca MY DEAD GIRLFRIEND is a shot-on-video comedy horror movie from Canada about a guy whose girlfriend dies only to return as a zombie. He then faces a struggle to prevent her from eating all and sundry while he tries to cover it up. This kind of storyline has been done to death over the last decade and each time the writer seems to think that he or she is the first one to come up with the idea.In any case, this is pretty pointless, far too cheap and amateurish to succeed. There's nothing worse than an unfunny comedy and MY DEAD GIRLFRIEND is just that. The characters spout awful dialogue which is delivered in a whiny way by the actors. This really is as bland and predictable as it gets.

Grimm-Grimm This is a low budget comedy horror independent film. If you cannot appreciate your comedy horror zombie flicks then this movie isn't for you. If you like to be entertained by funny zombies and don't mind the non-professional look, then you might want to check this out.Synopsis: This movie reminded me so much of "The Return of the Living Dead 3" because it uses a similar plot idea. A couple in love fall victim to a silly accident. The boyfriend loves her so much he cannot bear her death. Luckily, or unluckily, she comes back to life. Though she just isn't the same. Her bones are cracking as she awkwardly moves around and the boyfriend struggles to keep her new zombie persona a secret. There are some great funny lines in the movie. At one point, the female friend accuses the boyfriend of beating Amy (zombie girlfriend) after seeing her new Zombie look. The boyfriend trying to hide the truth frantically says along the lines of, "Your right, I I I, I beat her...I I I can't help it she just pisses me off." Cast: The cast is played by Brett's friends and students. A Caitlin Delaney plays Amy the Zombie girlfriend. This girl totally reminds me of a cute and funny ex-girlfriend. Her expressions and awkward Zombie acting are both great and funny. You have your naive drinking partying characters. The 2 girls, one of which is the short skirt wearing beauty. Personally, I loved the characters. Unfortunately the horror special effects are barely there. Their are lots of cutaways. I feel one thing for sure, Brett should do a sitcom. Judging on this movie and how it uses funny misunderstanding and acting, Brett might be a Seinfeld fan like myself. If he had money, good special FX, he could make a better zombie flick no doubt. In the movie their are obvious advertisements such as the comic book t-shirt wearing hot girl. The brewing company shirt showing in obvious full view. The couch with a huge label on it (L.L. Bean Manufacturing w/Phone Number). But I doubt that those companies gave much money at all. Hopefully someday he gets someone who believes in him and gives him a chance and funding. But from what I read, he doesn't make movies for money and just enjoys it anyway.This is a great campy horror movie to watch with your friends. It's like watching some sort of new Seinfeld Zombie flick. If you go into it with an open mind you might just like it. For what it is, I think it's good. If you go into this movie expecting Hollywood picture, you will most likely think this was a ridiculous movie.

horton-2 If you're extremely picky about how a film looks, you should know this is an independent movie with a low budget so it's pretty grainy throughout. However, that's just something they couldn't help due to their limitations, unlike Hollywood yet they still produce mostly crap.Now the movie itself though is a hoot 'n holler. The main characters acted by Brett Kelly and Caitlin DeLaney were a surprise to say the least. I started the movie not expecting much except some gore but those two plus an incredibly snappy script made for a very enjoyable movie. I would even say this is more of a comedy than a horror movie since there really isn't that much blood or gore and when they do show some it's a little thing. The rest of the film is mostly just jokes after another though.If you're up for some goofiness check this movie out. You'll enjoy it. And by the way there's something after the credits.

mckenzie-c To be quite honest, I haven't seen all of Bret's movies. I've seen Bone Setter (which I purchased at a comic convention, it was sitting next to the notorious indie flick, Zombie Holocaust, which I thought was terrible, kick me if you must; I don't remember my reasons) and that's it. Much like Bone Setter, My Dead Girlfriend takes you by surprise as the cleverness builds to the point where you simply enjoy the film and you actively catch yourself asking if this is the same movie you'd already formulated an opinion on.The script seems decently written and well executed on. The soundtrack was original and well placed. The make-up and gore was good, though there were moments when a completely over the top blood sequence would have been perfect. Overall this film had enough fresh moments for an obvious first attempt at a comedy horror that you can't help but really enjoy it for what it was. It left a pleasant taste in my mouth after all was said and done.WARNING, POSSIBLE SPOILER! (not that revealing, I just don't want to get blacklisted) Complaints? I thought there were some flat moments, mainly a couple of weak comedic attempts. (I don't think anyone would have had a problem if the film was a couple of minutes shorter if the weaker jokes were cut) The plot was generally fine expect the reason for Caitlin's zombification. Well not the reason so much as the execution. It felt a little ridiculous, Brett's character never comes across as someone so clueless or stupid as to back over another person with a car, or that Caitlin wouldn't have noticed the exhaust breathing down on her.The highlight I'm sure everyone will agree was Jody's comedic timing, (also played the Bone Setter in both those movies, though they weren't comedies) but Caitlin's zombie on the bed scene was probably the most memorable moment.Finally, there's a scene with this big guy (Ralph Gethings doing a cameo, he's the films FX head) in the woods. His story was never explicitly explained, so here's my take. Since I never recalled who the owner of the cabin was, I rationalize that it was his cabin and after all the "partying" was said an done, he shows up to the mess we all just witnessed and was attempting a clean up.Either way, fun film. Don't hesitate if you see a copy being sold at a local comic convention. Shades of "Idle Hands" definitely!
