Date with the Dead

About This Movie

So, 'Date with the Dead' is this quirky blend of comedy and horror from 2010 that really plays around with those classic high school dynamics. You have Jenny, the cheerleader, and Jack, the football guy, and they’re not on the same page—makes for some awkward moments, especially when the undead start rising around them. The pacing dips in and out, matching that frantic teen energy, and the practical effects have this DIY charm that feels raw and fun. The performances are pretty entertaining, with a certain campiness that adds to the overall vibe. It’s definitely distinctive for its blend of genres and the way it pokes fun at teen romance while also giving a nod to zombie flick tropes.
