When failed comedian Gus Lawton pushes his wife to her breaking point, he ends up pursuing her across the country to the deserted farmhouse where she grew up. Faced with the choice of losing Deborah or following her plan, Gus sets to work renovating the old property, starting with the septic system. In a moment of desperation, he unearths exactly what he needs: a zombie willing to do his bidding… at least for the time being. As the zombie’s own desires begin to interfere with their plans, Gus and Deborah find themselves in a frantic battle to achieve their goals, no matter the consequences. “Zombie Dearest” is a genre-defying film that taps into the “living dead” within us all, exploring themes of hunger and horror. It’s a thrilling journey that’s both cleverly humorous and delightfully eccentric.
