29.9: Part of Night of the 1000 Knives
Freddy, Karl, and Maggie are lovable nerds and petty criminals who round up zombies that roam the streets of their city uninterested in human flesh—euphemistically called “the living impaired”—to sell them to a weird underground club. When they cross the plans of a mean businessman, his minions kidnap their grandma and demand ransom. We Are Zombies is a fast-acting, dirty-minded, razzle-dazzle splatter comedy in the spirit of 1980s video-store fodder with which the makers of Turbo Kid wrench remarkable new aspects from a been-there-done-that genre.
