Retardead

About This Movie

Retardead is one of those quirky horror comedies that embraces its absurdity wholeheartedly. You've got this mad scientist, Dr. Stern, whose experiments on students turn them into hyper-intelligent, flesh-hungry zombies. The local police are tied up with their own ridiculous problems, leaving the town wide open for chaos. The pacing is all over the place—sometimes it feels like a frantic chase and other times it lingers on the bizarre humor. The practical effects are a standout; they really capture that gritty, low-budget vibe that can be so charming. The performances are equally wild, with the FBI agent, Susan Hannigan, trying to keep everything from spiraling completely out of control. It's a bizarre mix, but that's what makes it distinctive in the realm of indie horror-comedy.
