A hard-nosed Special Forces officer is transformed into a zombie-human hybrid who provides the only hope for preventing a zombie plague from infecting every living man, woman, and child on the planet ... read more read more...in an all-out tale of undead terror starring Dean Cain. Bobby Quinn (Cain) was the perfect Special Forces operative. Tough, quick on his feet, and always ready for action, Quinn awakens one day in the morgue to discover that he isn't entirely human anymore. It seems that the nefarious Dr. Scott has been plotting to achieve unlimited power, and a contaminated swarm of Jindoo scorpions from Cambodia have unleashed a deadly zombie plague that threatens to spell the end of the human race. There's still time to save mankind though, and as Quinn leaps into action with a little assistance from smoldering film student Holly, military chef Judson, and a motley crew of hard-charging allies, these dogged soldiers may be able to fend off the living dead after all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This movie is a riot. Just a comical zombie movie, not a whole lot of special effects that reach out and grab you but still an enjoyable movie. An attempt of trying to make most guys in the military look stupid, the director should spend a week with our troops in Iraq or Afghanis... read moretan, Guy Tony was very funny. A virus comes back to the US from Cambodia and starts turning most people in to flesh eating zombies except for Lt Bobby Quinn. Movie ended with the possibility of a sequel, to bad one was never made. 3 1/2 stars. 11-2-11

    Probably as bad as film can be, I believe Dead and Dead was a Sci-Fi Channel film. Starring a wash-up Dead Cain who gets killed in action in Cambodia....in the present day.....which already doesn't make much sense. A steady stream of idiotic jokes and attempts to cater to fanbo... read moreys through including discussions of Star Wars, Dawn of the Dead, etc. make Dead and Deader even dumber and more interminable than most bad zombie films.

    You know you're in for it when the movie opens with a military commander telling his men to "stay frosty." Fortunately for us the movie proves to be a tongue-in-cheek tribute to horror and sci-fi films and pop culture in general. Yes, it's goofy. It's supposed to be, much in the ... read moresame vein as "Return of the Living Dead" and even "My Name is Bruce."

    The plot revolves around a young special ops officer whose unit is sent to investigate the loss of contact with a medical facility. The men are attacked by bug-infected zombies and the next thing our hero knows he's waking up right before his autopsy. He finds that while he is not quite alive, he is still (mostly) in charge of his faculties and has gained super-strength and accelerated healing. Unfortunately, another soldier has also risen from the dead but is only concerned with eating people.

    All the tropes are here--the sassy black sidekick, the beautiful doctor who we are supposed to take seriously once she puts on her glasses, the uncaring military who refuse to see what's really going on, the mad scientist who wants to use the infection to live forever. The gore is at a maximum and the movie makes no apologies for what it is: a B-movie FX bonanza.

    I would like to watch this again playing a pop-culture drinking game. Every line from another movie (whether "stay frosty" or "primary malfunction"), every actor from another popular film ("Pulp Fiction") or TV show ("Star Trek," "X-Files," "Lois and Clark"), and every scene referencing another film gets a drink.

    The cultural commentary, some quirky characters, and a few funny lines save this from complete insouciance.

    Dean Kain is an undead soldier who has super strength and super healing factor. Problem if he doesn't eat raw meat every so often could change into a mindless zombie. Definitely a film for geeks. References range Night of the Living Dead to Star Wars to James Bond. It's a fun... read moreny movie, of course it was a made for tv movie, that aired on the Sci-fi channel. The effects aren't great and the stories nothing new. It's just a good movie to watch if you want a few laughs.

    Poor poor Dean Cain, how could you do this movie? There wasn't much good stuff in this movie and I yawned through most of it.
  • March 5, 2009
    Boy has Dean Cain really fallen. This was a pathetic attempt to add to the zombie genre. the humor on this was pretty lousy, right up there with the acting. A lot of gore and green blood, tons of pop culture references that were very boring. What a waste of time.

    Little bit gross, little bit funny, and little bit like an easter egg hunt for all the film referencing. Plus, Shimerman (Deep Space Nine, BVS) has some decent dialogue in the morgue, along with Billingsley. Funny the descriptions all list it as a beetle when it's clearly a sco... read morerpion.

    A good mix of horror, comedy and romance. Something that could've been on Showtime or Sci-Fi Channel. Not a bad zombie flick, but not the best either.

...the relentless emphasis on cornball jokes and egregiously quirky supporting characters ultimately renders the film's few positive attributes moot. Full Review

Call it C-level horror fluff if you like, but at least it moves quick and has lots of (obvious) in-jokes for the horror nerds. Like me. Full Review
