      Otto: The living all seem like the same person to me and I don't think I like that person very much.

    • Crazy credits

    If you gotta see a sexually graphic gay zombie movie....
    ...this might be the only one you come across. Well now, anyway, since I've pointed it out. Very low (or no) budget is about a young man who's definitely most sincerely undead, so naturally he auditions for a movie about an undead young man. Yeah. Only no one thinks he's actually undead, just, you know, weird.
