Juan of the Dead

OTTAWA PREMIERE | PRESENTED BY ZOMBIE INFO

Deadbeat dad Juan has survived 50 years of the Castro regime, so it’s no big deal to him when a zombie apocalypse hits Havana — in fact, he takes it as an opportunity to try a little Capitalism on for size — in this slyly subversive zom-com. And for the first ever horror film from Cuba, Juan of the Dead is remarkably polished: “the effects are all exceptional, the cinematography is inventive and beautiful, and the script is wonderfully wry and funny.” (Twitch)
