Life-long friends JT (Noah Segan) and Ricky (Shiloh Fernandez) cut class to explore a nearby derelict mental hospital where they stumble upon the body of a naked woman chained up and gagged in the basement. At first the girl appears to be dead, but on closer inspection she shows signs of life and Ricky is keen to call the police; JT, on the other hand, argues against this course of action, seeing an opportunity to indulge in some less than savoury behaviour with the helpless woman. Not wishing to be party to such deviant behaviour, Ricky leaves in disgust.

The next day, JT approaches Ricky saying that he has something important to show him. Ricky reluctantly agrees to accompany JT back to the basement where the girl is still chained up, but now showing signs of extreme physical violence. Ricky is naturally horrified by what JT has done, even more-so when his friend shoots the girl three times at close range; however, shock quickly turns to amazement when JT shows him that the girl is still moving, and explains that she simply cannot be killed.

Will the fact that the girl is no longer technically human change Ricky's perspective, allow his raging teenage hormones to rule his head, and see him joining in with JT for a spot of zombie shagging? Of course not... he's the good guy... but what does happen is still seriously twisted and sees JT pimping out his zombie sex slave to stoner pal Wheeler (Eric Podnar),convincing jock bullies Johnny (Andrew DiPalma) and Dwyer (Nolan Gerard Funk) to double-team the dead girl, and ultimately help his best bud to realise his dreams and finally get together with first love Joann (the gorgeous Candice Accola).

Of course, Deadgirl requires suspension of disbelief above and beyond that of simply accepting the notion of a living dead woman: the viewer is also expected to believe that virtually all teenage boys would jump at the opportunity to gang-bang a zombie 'babe', despite the obvious health risks and the sticky issue of sloppy seconds, thirds, fourths etc.. Go along with that cynical conceit, however, and the chances are you'll have a great time with this inventive zombie horror, particularly if you have a twisted outlook on life in general. Deadgirl positively revels in its extremely warped premise, presenting such dubious delights as its captive corpse being repeatedly 'raped' by randy adolescent reprobates, Johnny's guts exploding from his ass in the crapper, JT and Wheeler attempting to abduct a woman at a gas station (and getting their butts kicked in the process),and JT proposing the use of deadgirl's pus-oozing bullet wound as a surrogate vagina. Lovely!

If you're bored of zombie films offering the same-old siege set-up and want to see the subject treated in a refreshingly different manner, or you simply want to watch teenage perverts boffing a stiff, I highly recommend Deadgirl—it's dead good!

This movie will grab you, if you let yourself into it. It's disturbing and might haunt you, if you are willing to take the "ride". Fun it's most definitely not. But in a weird way it's grossly compelling. An exercise in human behavior (of course not meant to be understood as a blueprint for everyone),this movie is definitely an unsettling watch and weird experience.

While the main actors here can be seen in smaller roles in bigger pictures (one of them plays a blink and you'll miss him role in Cadillac Records for example),they do convince and play their roles as straight as they can. It's not a perfect movie, but it's a small little picture, that might be a stepping stone for it's director, if he can take this experience from this movie and continue with bigger things. I think he the ability to do so ... This one definitely is not for those who can't bear watching "torture" (be it of physical or psychological nature).

I picked up this movie based on the DVD cover alone. It looked interesting and it said "disturbing", "scary as hell", "one of the most perverse, deranged and original horror movies in years". So it sounded to be a rather good movie.

Then I sat down to watch it, and now that I have, I am left with the sense of having been cheated profoundly. This movie was nowhere near as interesting as the European DVD cover looked like. I thought I was in for a zombie movie, not a movie about a bunch of necrophiliac teenagers going at it with a corpse in a basement.

Sure, the idea for the movie is fresh and weird, disturbing to some perhaps. But to me, no, not so much. Nothing much happened throughout the movie, and my interest and attention span started drifting. I had genuinely hoped for more zombie action and more blood and guts.

One thing that was working well for the movie was the cast. They had some fairly good actors and actresses on the list here. Most memorable was Noah Segan (playing JT) and Jenny Spain (playing the deadgirl). Now, I am not saying that the others were not good, far from it. They were actually all doing a good job. Just that Segan and Spain were the ones with the most impressive performances.

The effects in the movie were also alright, and despite there was only little blood and gore in the movie, that which was there worked really well. Especially the scene with Johnny (played by Andrew DiPalma) in the bathroom. I loved that scene. Just a shame that it was only a brief flash and that it was so short a scene.

"Deadgirl" scored well on the original story, but it was dragged down by a slow pace, lack of scares and thrills, and an overall lack of promising what the DVD cover promised. For a horror movie, "Deadgirl" is a rather tame experience, but the story might just actually make it worth a watch, if you haven't already seen it. Just don't expect to be scared, and don't expect a lot of Romero-like zombies!
