Audience Member Hilarious horror comedy about a scientist turning mentally challenged people into savants, but as a side effect become zombies. They zombies escape and the apocalypse begins. There is just so many funny moments...really clever comedy, as well as gross-out silliness. Movie is fun for all ages...except for people easily offended. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member So what we have here is a follow-up (not really a sequel) to the supremely awesome Monsturd. Once again the film takes place in Butte County and the same evil doctor (Dr Stern) is back at again. This time he's not creating a poop monster, but grossly improving the mental capabilities of the town's mental defectives with a serum he developed. Sounds like the good doctor has turned his life around and is using genius to improve the lives of the locals, right? Well unfortunately his serum quickly turns the retards into brain-hungry zombies. Very goofy and over-the-top campiness, but that is to be expected. Not as good as Monsturd. but still worth a watch, especially for the previews/fake commercials at the beginning of the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Granted, there's nothing cool about the fact that I like this movie. Then again, allow me to make my case for being okay with this premise: To some degree, we're laughing at special needs people here. But compare it to something like that Johnny Knoxville movie, The Ringer. THIS movie isn't a condescending flick that excuses its handicapped gags with an insincere message. No, this is simply a fun horror-comedy, in which no one is safe from being the butt of a joke. That, for me, is more respectable. This loose sequel to MONSTURD is surprisingly smart, yet shameless, as it revels in potty jokes and cheapo gross-outs. Some of the actors are clearly NOT actors. And the filmmakers clearly don't care. Hell, the video grade is decidedly low. The sound recording is occasionally crappy. And there's no such thing as a transitional shot. BUT... 90% of the jokes work. And Retardead actually weaves stories and characters together better than Spider-Man 3. Hang around for the song on the closing credits. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Lmao another epic b-rated!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review desiree c Horendously hilarious. It is a cheesy movie that knows it's place. This movie had us laughing and omg'ing. Loved it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely hilarious. It's funny because it is funny. Not because it is about handicapped zombies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
