A miserable henpecked sci-fi movie fan (a solid performance by writer/director Jason Knuth) wishes that his shrewish and nagging wife (a perfectly bitchy Beth Knuth) was dead. The wife gets killed in an automobile accident, but comes back to life as a pesky rot-faced zombie. This short'n'sweet little horror comedy romp maintains a nicely deadpan tone throughout, pokes affectionate fun at both cheesy fright fare and hardcore film nerds, and culminates in a nifty, if rather predictable conclusion. Moreover, the zombie make-up is really gnarly, the cinematography is likewise pretty crisp, the generic shivery synthesizer score does the trick, and the soundtrack boasts a few lively rock songs. Plus the outtakes are absolutely sidesplitting. A real hoot.
