Dead Heat (1988)


Imagine a buddy cop action movie. Imagine it with zombies. Now imagine one of the buddy cops is also a zombie. Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo (gag!) star in exactly that. The film makes up for its low production values with charm, energy, and creativity abound by throwing in really fun and funny action scenes, an interesting plot, a cameo by Vincent Price, and some inspired (but not necessarily good) special effects. The film is directed by the excellent editor Mark Goldblatt (editor of such greats as The Terminator, Commando, T2, and Starship Troopers). If you've got 80 minutes to kill, Dead Heat is loads of fun.

7/10
