Synopsis:

The life of a shy, nerdy loner changes forever when he falls in love with the first girl he meets in the big city. Louis (Brian Dietzen of “NCIS”) is a comic-book artist and a wannabe hermit. On his first day of work at New Planet Comics, he locks himself in the janitor’s closet so he can draw in peace, and he’d stay hidden away forever but for his infatuation with Glennis, a karaoke-bar waitress. When Louis discovers that the costume of an obscure Eastern European superhero supplies him with the courage to sing karaoke without fear, he uses his newfound voice to woo Glennis, an aspiring singer-songwriter in need of a little magic herself. To truly win her love, however, Louis must learn that the power is not in the suit but in his heart.

Review: ‘Undead or Alive’ on DVD

Undead or Alive, directed by Glasgow Phillips, who previously has written for South Park, is an unGodly awful piece of film. How bad … I’ve had more fun examining lint I pulled from my pants pocket. Jokingly also referred to as Undead or Alive: A Zombedy, this is just one more knock-off zombie comedy that fails at doing anything but waste the viewer’s time and money.

This direct-to-DVD dud stars television actor James Denton (The Pretender, Desperate Housewives) and SNL star Chris Kattan (Monkeybone, Corky Romano) as two completely opposite outlaws in the old west, on the run after robbing the town’s sheriff. As it turns out, legend has it that Geronimo allegedly cast a curse on the white man, turning them into zombies. The sheriff is attacked and becomes a zombie, then builds a posse of zombies to track down the two fugitives. What ensues is a lousy production with crappy special effects, a terrible script with lousy humor filled with puns and cliche’s older than dirt. Poor Chris Kattan … he was never my favorite SNL player, but this is beneath even his standards.
