Juan de los Muertos (Juan of the Dead)

Finally, a film that was just what I expected.  Sure, it was designed for the Fantastic Fest crowd - the director used what slow, limited internet access he could to read film sites like Ain't It Cool News.  And sure, it was pretty predictable.  But that's okay.  That's what I expect from a zombie film.  A Cuban take refreshes the genre again.

"I took many scenes from real life, and just put zombies in it." - Alejandro.

Director Alejandro Brugués of Juan de los Muertos.  My sister-in-law also calls him "hot".
