 DIE AND LET
LIVE
(Heretic Films)
2006. Heretic Films. Comedy/Horror. 75 minutes. Not rated, gore. With the
help of his slacker friend Smalls, Benny throws an impromptu party to try
and hook up with a chick he digs. However, the party is quickly ruined
when party crashers in the form of zombies try to eat all the guests.
Stuck behind the safety of a fence, the party goers must do whatever it
takes to survive, and get the pizza the delivery boy dropped on the wrong
side when he was attacked.
Not taking themselves
too seriously (the production company is named IWC: Idiots with Cameras),
the fellas behind Die and Let Live have given birth to a pretty amusing
and downright entertaining indi flic. Sure, some of the dialog is drawn
out, but a damn good percentage of it is funny. Poor Benny’s love life
has a great one word conclusion and Smalls goofy antics are very fat
guyish. The gore is mostly gushing blood, latex skin bites, and one damn
fine disembowelment that’ll have Gramma heaving her Rolaids. Extras
include commentary, outtakes, deleted scenes, etc. You know, knowing the
early 20-somethings I know, I’d say these idiots have hit a zombie
invasion and how they’d handle it dead on its head. –
