Otto; or Up With Dead People (2008)


The story of Otto, a young zombie experiencing an identity crisis. In trying to figure out who he was before he died/became undead, he meets Medea, a woman obsessed with death who casts him in her film "Up With Dead People" - her political and social commentary on the 'new' breed of queer zombies struggling in the contemporary world. I didn't care so much for the 'erotic' scenes, as they were gratuitous and didn't add much to the story line, but this was an existential and fresh take on the zombie genre, and pretty entertaining.
