Better Red than Dead...

I think many movies about either Zombies or Commies can be vastly improved by a switch.

Red Poets Society: A teacher uses his position of power and authority to subvert impressionable middle schoolers into turning on their counterrevolutionary bourguoise parents. Carpe Facultas Facundia!

Dead Heat: Arnold Schwartzenegger is a Russian Orthodox Priest and Jim Belushi is a Chigago Democratic Party Precinct Chair and they're racing to find Viktor (Ed O'Ross) before he creates an army of Zombies to smuggle drugs by walking across the bottom of the Pacific from Columbia to Sacramento.

Night of the Living Reds: A group of patriots barricade themselves in an isolated farmhouse while skeevy, unwashed European college students attempt to hand them copies of the Revolutionary Worker's Daily.

Dead Poets' Society was about zombies!? Why did nobody tell me this? Jeez, I gamed with a bunch of you people for years and you let me go on thinking it was some sort of artsy crap - the trailer was very misleading.

"Seize the Brains"? What did you think it was going to be, a homoerotic boys school coming of age story with the sublimation of sex into poetry?

Did anyone ever tell you about "Like Water for Chocolate"?

Byron: Brains!
Shelly: Excellent! But what rhymes with brains?
Byron: Brains!
Shelly: Yes! Aaaaaaah!

Bwahahah!!!

But Dead Heat was done already --a buddy movie with Joe Piscopo as a cop who gets made into a zombie but is still on the case.

There's a guild on my WoW server named "Undead Poets Society"

"Dead Dawn"

"The Hunt for Dead October"

"Gorky Park" with all the communists swapped for undead might be a lot like "Night Watch..." ;-)
