Totally Average...

This film tries on so many levels... And it fails on every level it tries. There is no real "horror" aspect... Unless you're scared of some slob walking around moaning with dirt on his face. The comic aspect is even less so. The Directer/Star/Writer could have cast someone in the lead who might have been funnier... Every time this guy cuts into his crappy comedy "caveman" standup, he just sucks out loud.
I was hoping there would be some form of parody going on here... (I mean, if you're not going to at least make a reference to Joan Crawford, what's with the title?)
One more problem... I didn't "like" any of the characters in this film. The lead guy seems like a jerk... Or he comes off that way... The zombie is just a flesh robot... The wife isn't a nice person either. And her boss is a scumbag. I just wouldn't care if they were all in the same house and it exploded.

This film could have been very hip & original... Instead it's a failed experiment.
I'm NOT saying this movie is bad... I am saying this film was a big disappointment.

Trust me,

My, you're nosy, aren't you?

Well put.

I gave it a four. One point below average. It had decent camera work and sound, at least.

The hubby, within five minutes of him coming on, I was hoping *he* would be the zombie and that he would die in some really graphic way. It never happened. The wife, the same.

Actually, I thought it was better than expected, because my expectations were very low.
This was included on a 2-disk, ten zombie movies set from Walmart in their $5 bin. After watching 4 of the movies, this is the only one in color, and fairly new. I found it bizare enough to be mildly entertaining. Wishing upon a dead mans cock is new to me. If you liked "Squirm", you'll like this.

I got the same movie pack that u did..and so far I have watched 4 of the movies and until this one they had all been pretty good. The wife was a looker at least. Other movies on the DVD such as "Hide and Creep" and "Last of the Living" are actually pretty decent.
