When a car accident and a voodoo ritual turn a trio of nerds into zombies, the fun is just beginning in this German horror comedy. For awkward teens Philip, Konrad, and Weener, death may finally be their ticket to popularity, or at least sex with popular girls. Mixing the fun of a high school comedy with the gore of zombie classics, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DORKS is a bloody blast. [More]

Outside of surface details involving flesh eating and body rot, these zombie stooges look more hung over than dead. This is really a sex comedy with a zombie theme.

An obnoxious sex romp that knows just enough about the teen comedy genre to mimic it but not enough to make it worth revisiting, even with this zombie twist.

Night of the Living Dorks is a German spoof film on the zombie genre, and as the title warns, it is pretty dorky. Think: American Pie meets Dawn of the Dead.
