Zombie Dearest (2009) – David Kempker.

Struggling comedy writer Gustav (David Kempker), and his frustrated, long-suffering girlfriend (Shauna Black)attempt a fresh start by renovating a fixer-upper in her isolated, rural home town, only to disturbingly discover they not only have rats, there's a zombie blocking the septic tank!!! Affable Canadian Zom-com has likeable performances, quality writing, an unusually sympathetic zombie (David Sparrow), and some bona fide belly laffs! Zombie Dearest kinda feels like one of those boozy, pre-dawn ideas that proves you should always jot 'em down, as you never know, it just might produce an above average, hugely tittersome indie horror comedy. It's a fun, engaging, richly ironical midnight movie treat, and the blackly funny Monkey's Paw business is smartly integrated.
