Synopsis

Fans of SHAUN OF THE DEAD are in for a blast with THE REVENANT, a wildly entertaining undead buddy comedy. Bart is glad to be home from the Iraq War, but there’s just one problem. Although he’s still walking, he’s actually dead and his flesh is starting to fall off. When his best pal Joey realizes Bart needs human blood to survive, the two embark on a spree of mayhem across the city, knocking off lowlifes and feasting on their corpses. Featuring two young actors with genuine chemistry in tons of hysterical situations for the undead, THE REVENANT is an instant cult classic from writer-director Kerry Prior, best known for his special effects work (LOST BOYS, ABYSS, PHANTASM series, BUBBA HO-TEP).
