Review of Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008) by Artie P — 27 Sep 2009

Bruce LaBruce has been merging indie film & gay porn for years. His latest film finds us in the not too distant future where gay zombies are hiding out on the streets of Germany. Our antihero is Otto, the cutest undead guy you'll ever meet. He struggles with his desire for human flesh and ends up starring in a pretentious art film called "Up With Dead People" to earn money to survive.

While undeniably for a niche audience, this is the most coherent and accessible film LaBruce has made. That said, it contains a few very graphic (and bloody) zombie sex scenes that will put it off the radar for most.
