Juan and his best friend Lazaro are Cuban slackers (and petty criminals), until their peaceful and relaxed lifestyle is interrupted by a scourge of zombies, or "dissidents," and Juan decides to take advantage of the new business opportunity.
Juan of the Dead is obviously an homage to Sean of the Dead, but has a charm all its own. Loaded with deadpan humor and action, this would be a good one to throw in the queue when you need something a little lighter.

Tony & I both thoroughly enjoyed this film. It certainly does have it's own charm. Excellent pick!
Nice, I'm going to keep this one in mind.
Me too - sounds fun!
I never heard of this, nice discovery and review!
Trevor discovered this last year JPX! Shame on you for not remembering, or checking the Monster List before making that comment. *shakes head in stern disapproval*
I'm sold on it by the way, looking forward to watching it.

Crystal are you speaking in tongues?
Comment catch-up! Only a day later and I'm way behind...
I just realized that "Juan of the dead," unlike "Shaun of the dead," doesn't have a real-word pun that it's making, i.e. "Shaun" rhymes with "Dawn" (of the dead) but "Juan" doesn't and only refers back to Shaun. Is this mike on?
