There’s an art in the naming of a movie. You can go with simplicity, you can go with complexity, you can go with blatant WYSIWYG description, or go with something more ambiguous. Sometimes it’s a complete and utter FAIL (see George A. Romero’s latest HERE), and sometimes it’s DR. S BATTLES THE SEX-CRAZED REEFER ZOMBIES: THE MOVIE!
A throwback to the horror films of the 50s and 60s, REEFER ZOMBIES is a black and white B movie (and proud of it) from director Bryan Ortiz. But what, exactly, is REEFER ZOMBIES all about? Hold onto your butts:
In a quiet American town, life has decidedly slowed down to a crawl. A small group of scientists have unwittingly unleashed a horrible force upon the town. Mary Jane, the all American sweetheart, parks on Make Out Hill with her boyfriend Billy Everybody. He smokes some of the reefer and is suddenly transformed into a sex- crazed reefer zombie. Just as Billy lunges forward he is pulled out of the car and thrown to ground and shot. Mary Jane looks at her brutal savior, Dr. S. Dr S. battles his way back to the city, while dragging Mary Jane behind him. While Mary Jane tries to come to grip with the possible reality of her family dead and asks Dr. S to explain how this all happened. Dr. S tells her of how he and his team developed the reefer for the military to use as a weapon, but it was too unstable. In a last ditch effort to create a more stable strain of the reefer, Dr. S tested some on himself. The reefer changed him, made him strong, but filled with an uncontrollable rage. Unable to stop himself Dr. S killed his whole team. Convincing Mary Jane there is a cure, Dr. S vows to set things right.
Think REEFER MADNESS… with zombies. I gotta admit, I’m intrigued! Apparently the film is making all sorts of noise in film festivals around the country, taking the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the San Antionio Film Festival earlier this year. That’s saying something, yo!
We have a couple of posters for the flick you can check out here, and if you head THIS WAY you can spy the trailer and even a few stills from the film as well.
Watch out for DR. S BATTLES THE SEX-CRAZED REEFER ZOMBIES: THE MOVIE coming soon to a festival near you.
