mdehnersThis Latin version of the British horror Comedy is actually pretty good, esp if you're the type that likes Slapstick.
Juan and his buddy are petty criminals in Havana when a flu-like disease kills and then reanimates it's victims. The gov't broadcasts that it's Dissidents and to continue to go about your lives. Juan figures out there's money to be had and comes up with 'Juan of the Dead;We Kill your Dead Relatives' "Dissident" removal service. Obsessed with making money, they don't pay attention until it's too late...
Surprisingly for a latin flick, two of the heroes(such that ANY of them are;>)are a Gay couple, a Queen and her body-building boyfriend.
A decent DVD. Not good enough to go to a theatre but definitely good enough to pluck off the rack at your local store;>
Cheers,
Pat
