Two friends, Rickie and JT, skip school and head to the local abandoned lunatic asylum for some fun in the shape of drinking, smoking and smashing things up. They go down to the basement, this journey along dark tunnels was actually quite tense, and bizarrely they discover a tied up naked woman. Absolutely no explanation is given for her but she happens to be a zombie. The rather despicable JT uses her for the rest of the movie as a sex object. Deadgirl is pale compared to the likes of Nekromantik (1987) but it is still none the less very dark and twisted, the woman may be a zombie but the constant physical and sexual abuse inflicted upon her is very unpleasant. However, this is a horror movie, not a romantic comedy so those viewers who are easily offended best avoid. Apart from some annoying shakey cam and perhaps being a tad too long Deadgirl is a reasonably well made shocker. Apparently the UK release is uncut but I didn't think it as gory as suggested by other reviews. The "teens" in the movie were played by actors well into their 20's, not uncommon but still a negative. I picked this up cheap on DVD, I felt that I got my money's worth though I didn't like it enough to want to give it a repeat viewing in the future. Slightly above average.
