Retardead (2008)

Retardead is the sequel to Monsturd and picks up with Dr. Stern taking a teaching position at a school for the mentally challenged. Dr. Stern has developed an intelligence serum and has decided the perfect subjects will be the students.

His daily injections quickly change the kids into classical music playing, literature reading, mathematician brainiacs. The drastic change doesn't seem to alarm anyone, which is too bad since one of the side effects of the serum is that the kids turn into flesh eating zombies.

Even though I love zombie movies, I'm not a fan of gore. I think whether you like it or not, this will work for you as there are some pretty gross scenes, but some of it is also funny.

The scenes in the warehouse could have benefited from some ADR. There is also a side plot of the police trying to catch someone called the Weenie Wagger which could have been left out of the film and it wouldn't have mattered.

In one of the first scenes where the zombies are locked in a room at the school and are eating someone, the bald zombie does not have any makeup on top of his head. There is a line right across it where the makeup stops. I think he might have been wearing a hat at one point, but I can't remember. It looks pretty funny though.

Before the movie begins there are two fake drive in trailers for sixties style horror movies. These are complete with bad dubbing, poor acting, and period graphics. My favorite of the two was the brilliantly titled, Frankenstein and the Bloody Beast of Ghastly Terror.

There is also a voice over by Herschell Gordon Lewis and a cameo by Jello Biafra.
