  unique perspective that works well
  
  See Charleen's review below for the gory details. I'll simply add that I was also very pleased with the film. The lead zombie/actress did a very good job of invoking sympathy for her situation and those of her fellow undead as they try to re-integrate themselves into society and make a "living". Her acting was just flat -out very, very good and brought a great deal of credibility to the whole story. *caution-plot spoiler* I in particular, liked her final solution to her KKK wannabe ex-boyfriend. The actor played him so well, you wanna stand up and do a full cheer with pom-poms when he gets.......well, what YOU wanted to do to him from the start (LOL). Overall, well worth buying versus renting and will be a film you'll pull out and watch again and again.

  This is for the "mortally challenged"....
  
  I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. The first half of the film and the last 15 minutes were absolutely excellent. In between those two times, the movie got lost in itself and its attempt to make an action sequence.
  
  The movie is about Angela and her life after...well...dying. Angela is killed at the hands of her abusive boyfriend and must deal with the fact that she is "mortally challenged" (aka a zombie). She attends support groups (kinda AA but ZA) to try to comprehend her new life and deal with the new discriminations she is facing.
  
  Reminiscent of an era where lynching was the norm, this movie manages to confront social issues and intolerance perfectly. Bypassers seem to ignore what is happening and continue with their daily lives. Angela also has to deal with the temptation for human flesh, her stalker ex-boyfriend and intolerance groups (very KKK) that have banded together to torture and kill zombies. Now, the zombies in this movie are still conscious, have feelings, thoughts, etc and work just about the same as any other living person, except for the fact that they are supposed to be dead. So, it is pretty hard to watch what the living "humans" do to the zombies. Indeed, the film beautifully juxtaposes the dead with the living and then back again. There is no black and white, no good and evil, in the end, this morality play is refreshing and interesting. Having watched this type of treatment during the original "Night of the Living Dead", the action took on a new dimension because you could see that these functioning human zombies had feelings and were in pain. This movie proves to be both intelligent and thoughtfully critical of society.
  
  The cinematography is pretty good for a B movie and the storyline is excellent. The only problem with this movie lies in the part where it attempts to make an action sequence near the end. Said action sequence fails miserably.
  
  The DVD includes several deleted scenes.
