DeadHeads

Two zombies wake in the middle of an outbreak and refuse to fade away. Rather than lurk in the chaos, they take a detour to find a long lost love, believing a road trip might fix what went wrong. They bluff, bond, and stumble through small towns, trading quips and dodging danger as their unlikely friendship grows stronger than their decay. But they are chased by operatives of a ruthless corporation who want something only the duo can unknowingly provide. The pursuit blends horror with comedy, turning a forced escape into a strange, roaming adventure. The road tests their stubborn loyalty and pushes them to confront what love can survive. They realize the real danger is the living around them.

Directed by Drew T. Pierce and Brett Pierce, DeadHeads arrived in 2011 as an indie horror comedy. It stems from an original screenplay and stars Michael McKiddy, Ross Kidder, Markus Taylor, Sebastian Galasso, and Benjamin Webster in limited release worldwide.

As a low budget indie, the film had limited release and no reported global gross. In markets nationwide, box office figures are not readily available, reflecting its niche playtime and status within the horror comedy circuit and limited festival exposure.

Cultural Impact: The movie sits in the quirky niche of undead buddy road comedies and has a small following among fans of offbeat horror. It has not spawned iconic lines or widespread parodies, and its humor relies on character mismatches and odd situations, for a cult audience in niche circles.

Reception & Themes: Critics and genre fans offered a mixed take praising the setup and its humor and horror while noting uneven pacing. The film toys with friendship beyond death and critiques corporate greed, using a road trip premise to keep the pace lively for fans who enjoy offbeat fables.
