Juan of the Dead

2011 · 96 min

A scrappy, sun-baked zombie comedy that mixes gory slapstick with a wry, satirical look at Cuban life, feeling both chaotic and oddly charming.

Tagline
He's Havana killer day.
Overview
While Havana is full of zombies hungry for human flesh, official media reported that the disturbances are caused by dissidents paid by the United States. Panic seizes all until Juan comes to the rescue: he discovers he can kill the undead destroying his brain, and decides to start a small business under the slogan "We kill your loved ones."
