for the life of me and why do this film receive an r rating . while it be about flesh eating zombie and believe it or not and it actually a pretty good family friendly film at least if your kid be age 10 and old . unlike the traditional zombie film and this one have an excellent sense of humor as well a a traditional value albeit a bit twisted . the language isn not a serious problem and there be no nudity and the film style be definitely gear towards kid ( much like the old tv show eerie and indiana ) yet some knucklehead slap an r rating one it . believe me and most kid have see bad violence than this and it just seem silly to make audience think this be an adults only film . the story be set in a parallel type world . while the fashion and car and more appear circa 1953 and in this bizarro world there have be a fierce recent zombie plague that result in the zombie war and massive change in everyday life . at school and kid be train in armed combat and there a cute scene late in the film where the father give his son a handgun and tell him to keep it in his backpack just in case . a for life outside of school and it pretty weird as well and a people now have learn that zombie arent such a bad thing . heck and use shock collar and training and they can be make into slave who can do your housework and clean street and deliver milk or and in the case of a really sick guy and be your special friend . this film deal with one particular family that finally buy their first zombie slave ( play by billy connally ) . mom be thrilled and her son slowly become the zombie friend . dad and on the other hand and isn not convince a he be force year early to kill his own zombie father and he hasn not yet get over this . funny and irreverent and unique this film need to be see by a much wide audience .
