Tagline:We're all zombies in the end!
Favourite line:"Him and his damn butt. Let me ask you something. Is it so hard for a guy to keep his pants pulled up?"

Another crazed offering from Troma, this time as distributors rather than production team.
Jim Jarsen brings us the bizarre tale of two flatmates whose relationship is strained to breaking point because of the inabaility of one to, literally, keep his trousers up:

Wade is lazy, over-weight but generally cheerful. His only real flaw is that his arse cleavage is virtually always on show. His roommate, Brian, is planning a romantic evening with his girlfriend, but Wade keeps interrupting them. Brian's girlfriend is none too pleased, and has to leave, so sickened is she by the sight of his crack.
Brian intends to propose and get her to move in, but is worried that she will refuse due to her intolerance of Wade's posterior.
As luck would have it, Brian accidentally electrocutes Wade whilst he's taking a bath, paving the way for the marriage. Unfortunately for him, Wade's sister is a practitioner of voodoo, and resurrects her overweight brother to wreak revenge, and the only way he can ever return to the Earth to lie in peace is to slaughter the man whose hands he died by.....

Blackly comic, irreverent and bizarre, this is a much better Troma movie than the title suggests.
As ever, the dialogue is atrocious, the acting barely credible, but the general feel is one of enjoyment and, it seems, a good time was had by all.
Enjoyable nonsense.
