Goofy Deb spends the night with a discontented heir to a fortune, who is a little embarrassed to find her in his bedroom in the morning. Upon spilling her out on the street, she discovers that a zombie plague has descended on the city, and, in her goofy way, she needs to find her way to a safe place.<\/p>\n<p>Which just might be the heir&#8217;s father&#8217;s place.<\/p>\n<p>As we all learned long ago, no place can stand forever against slavering zombies, and soon enough everyone&#8217;s piling into vehicles, intent on leaving the city before becoming lunch. However, discovering that the city is now in quarantine was not on anyone&#8217;s bingo card, and, worse yet, it&#8217;s not even official.<\/p>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s not being reported on the news.<\/p>\n<p>And Deb does work at the news station in the city. And what&#8217;s the difference between a camera operator and a newscaster? Fifteen, twenty feet max?<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s time for her promotion, and boy is she ready for it. But don&#8217;t number the zombies among her fans; they want a bite of her, not just a selfie.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it&#8217;s more than a little silly and doesn&#8217;t stick enough pins in enough bloated egos. But it&#8217;s an earnest, cute effort that saves the night in the end. Sadly, lacking the <em>noir<\/em> gravitas of <em><strong>Night of the Living Dead<\/strong><\/em> does it no favors: this will <em>not<\/em> stick in your mind, never mind your teeth, for days afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s too bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Night Of The Living Deb (2015) is, as one might guess, a parody of Night of the Living Dead (1968).
