It is so rare that I see a teen horror film that works on so many different levels, the way "Night of the Living Dorks" does. This film is fun, charming and even scary at times. Thus, I was shocked to see some "real dork" posting all these negative comments about this amazing film, which unfortunately comes up as the first user comment one sees, when most of the user comments on "Night of the Living Dorks" are favorable.My only advice is watch the film in German (with English subtitles) because the dubbed version is lame, and the actual voices of the actors in this movie are hilarious. After a while, I didn't even need the subtitles, even though my German consists of "Speiken Zi Deutch!"Go buy this movie! A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

As my usual SIFF ritual, I attended a "Midnight Adrenaline" screening, and this year it happened to be "Night of the Living Dorks", a German "zombie-comedy", a spoofing genre that has seemed to kick off since the massive cult success of UK's "Shaun of the Dead". And this film does play like a nutty hybrid of "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Night of the Living Dead", and it's joyfully naughty, undemanding fun.This particular horror spoof/send up takes place in suburban Germany, focusing on group of unpopular high school geeks in all their individual, expected ways. The sort-of leader of this hapless gang is Phillip (Tino Mewes) a mildly neurotic teen with the typical everykid amiability, who doesn't have a whole lot of personality but an earnest heart. However, he has a hopeless crush on the school's reigning teen queen Uschi, and whenever he drudges up the courage to confront her he meets an unduly comeuppance by the school's preppy, heartless jocks. Of course, this wouldn't be a teen movie without a pair of sidekicks: best friend Konrad (Thomas Schmieder), an uber Micheal-Anthony-Hall-ish nerd who keeps a precise, daily recording of the endless taunts and vile pranks repeatedly pulled on him, and Wurst (Manuel Cortez), a perpetual stoner who remains completely insouciant and unaffected by the group's considerable lack of a social life. And in true John Hughes' fashion, there's the lovely next-door gal pal, Rebecca (Collien Fernandes), one for whom is trying on a Gothic lifestyle to see if it fits, who has a none-too-subtle crush on the oblivious Phillip.And the night that puts the story's pivotal turn in motion is at a pathetic meeting of Collien's goth clique and Phillip's nerdy triad, for which an inept voodoo ritual to try and reverse Phillip-n-crew's downward social spiral goes awry, as they die in a car crash during a roadside bong haze, only to wake up in the city morgue that night to realize there the walking dead! And when they return to school the next day, they realize their luck is about to change: not only do they crush the athletic jocks at their usually unbearable PE class (with heavy reverence to "The Longest Yard") and find they have superhuman strength, but also throw a totally radical school-wide party at Phillip's pad (for whom are on vacation), completely reversing their terminally unpopular streak.But of course, things don't quite go as smoothly (body parts falling off at inappropriate times, a conniving, emasculated jock planning to bring them down and Konrad's wildly uncontrollable violent outbursts), and they realize they are now on a ticking clock to resurrect themselves with a "magic mixture" before they officially go forever back into the grave.Now all this is a pretty predictable template, but director Mattheius Dinter's goofy, manic energy and the unpretentiously clever vignettes (Finding ancient zombie remains on E-bay; an ultra-cheery mother barging in on an awakening Phillip to see he has an erection under his sheets) helps elevate this gross-out comedy/teen-horror-romance to the above-average category. The movie does have a few deeper observations than expected (noting that a Zombie's "Hunger" for human flesh reflects the boy's burgeoning sexuality), but really it just wants to have fun, as even the movie's climax is pretty much you would expect (with some minor surprises), it still works splendidly.Great fun, no matter how petty it actually is.

my god, this movie was bad! The acting was extremely poor, really amateurish. It didn't let me forget for one minute that I was watching actors (well, sort of...) in a movie. Some good jokes, I'll admit that. Most of them were shown in the trailers. Another semi-plus is Collien Fernandes... she's just nice to look at (though her acting skills are rather poor too).After half of the film I walked out. I must say, that my standards for movies are not very high. And I was well aware, that this was going to be a somewhat silly teen comedy. But still... Avoid this movie, if your standards are not very low.
