Just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up that RetarDEAD is now available on DVD from Amazon and Filmbaby.com.
To give you a little background, RetarDEAD is the sequel to Monsturd.
We'd like to think that "RetarDEAD" isn't just your run-of-the-mill zombie movie. It's actually pretty bizarre. Imagine crossing Monty Python humor with early John Waters and then topping it off with the hard-core gore of a George Romero movie. That pretty much sums up "RetarDEAD." The story's pretty straightforward. Simply put, imagine "Flowers for Algernon" meets "Night of the Living Dead."
A few fun facts about the movie:
1. It has a cameo appearance by former Dead Kennedys front man Jello Biafra.
2. It has a cameo by the Living Dead Girlz, an honest-to-God zombie dance troupe that performs around the country.
3. It has a cameo appearnce by superheidi! ;D She attacks Actor/Director Steve Grainer Star of the zombie flick "Come Get Some!"
4. We've hired special effects make-up artist Ed Martinez to do the effects. Ed was the effects genius behind the original "The Dead Pit."
5. The movie features a cast of more than 200 people
6. It is entirely sell financed out of my own savings (no help from anyone in Hollywood on this).
And we've started to get a few good reviews:
