I didn't really know what this movie was about, nor did I have any real expectations to it. All that mattered was the fact that it was a zombie movie. Sure, I knew that it was going to be a comedy of sorts, but it had zombies in it. And anything with zombies in it, is worth a watch in my opinion.
The story had some interesting and good aspects to it, that mostly being the story of socially awkward eb Clarington (played by Maria Thayer), which actually put the zombie outbreak in the background.
The comedy elements to "Night of the Living Deb" were present all throughout the entire movie, with the majority of those moments actually bringing about laughs or a big smile. To that point, then director Kyle Rankin was certainly on to something.
"Night of the Living Deb" was, however, not an impressive movie. And by that I mean that the storyline was a bit too forced and not all aspects of the storyline worked out in favor of the movie.
And also the special effects were not overly impressive. Sure, this was not a zombie movie in the traditional sense, so one might debate whether or not it should have had more impressive zombie make-up or not. In my opinion, it should; you can't have a zombie movie and then cut back on the special effects department. Most of the zombies in "Night of the Living Deb" were just equipped with that low budget zombie make-up; you know, grayish skin foundation, blackened around the eyes and some theater blood sprayed here and there. It is just a blow to the movie when they don't go all the way with zombie make-up. I am not saying that they needed to show gruesome dismemberment and other such damage caused by zombies, but a proper zombie make-up on those portraying the zombies would have been nice.
The acting in "Night of the Living Dead" was good. And it was especially Maria Thayer who carried the movie quite nicely. Michael Cassidy was also contributing a good amount to the movie. And it is always nice to see Ray Wise make an appearance in a movie.
"Night of the Living Deb" is certainly entertaining enough for what it turned out to be, but it didn't impress me in any way. Nor was it a movie that brought anything overly new to the zombie genre.
