It's equal parts splatter and laughter in this doomsday romp with a decidedly Cuban touch. When Havana begins filling up with the living dead and the government claims that the bloodthirsty zombies are US-funded dissidents, forty-year-old slacker Juan is left with no other choice than to protect his family, save the country and become a hero.

Winner of Best Iberoamerican Film at the Goya Awards, JUAN OF THE DEAD is a side-splitting homage to both Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead that's "George Romero meets George Carlin" (Screem).
