31 More Days of Horror: Undead or Alive (2007)

Nothing beats Shaun of the Dead; but this film is a good try.  Chris Kattan, yes, Chris Kattan stars as one-half of an odd duo who plan to rob a crooked sheriff.  Unfortunately for Luke and Elmer (James Denton) leaving town is the easy part.  It seems the townfolk have come down with the White Man's Curse.  A run-in with an Indian warrior princess quickly us the history and a name for the plague: Geronimonsters.  The fugitives must now survive the heinous disease sweeping the wild west.

Undead or Alive is a hysterically gory trip into the sunset.  Sagebrush and blood go hand in hand.  Though written and directed by a former South Park scribe, nothing prepares you for this offbeat gem.  The dialogue is well-written--equally funny and sharp.  The special effects are thoughtful with different stages of zombiness.  The soundtrack is killer.

Any self-respect zed-head owes it to themselves to see this one.  Undead or Alive is a crazy good treat!!
