Night of the Living Dorks (2004)

Three unpopular high school students go to the cemetery at night to meet up with some goth kids performing a voodoo ceremony to conjure up the dead. The ceremony goes badly with the wind blowing the contents of an urn onto the three dorks. While driving home, they crash their van into a tree and die, only to wake up in the morgue believing that they were mistakenly declared dead. They sneak past security because they are afraid of getting in trouble.

They soon realize that they have become zombies and as they start to decay will eventually crave human flesh. The dorks start standing up to people who bully them due to their super human strength. Konrad, who has kept a notebook of every incident of bullying in his school career, decides to get even with everyone who has ever bullied him and starts eating people.

Wurst and Phillip try to find a cure that will bring them all back to life, enlisting the help of the goth girl neighbor who was at the ceremony.

This isn't your typical zombie film as there are only three zombies and they are more interested in partying and girls than in eating people. There are a few scenes that made me laugh out loud, but overall I was disappointed with the humor and the ending which I could see coming a mile away.
