The two quickly try to play off their night but soon theyu0026#39;re back together when they realize that a zombie apocalypse has broken out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNIGHT OF THE LIVING DEB isnu0026#39;t the greatest horror spoof ever created but there are a couple nice laughs that help keep it moving but thereu0026#39;s really not enough here for a feature-length film. I think this here would have worked much better as a short film because thereu0026#39;s really no plot here as we basically see Deb, a rather nerdy person, falling in love with the good looking Ryan and the majority of the film has her being mistreated or taken advantage of. Oh yeah, the other thing is that she is very sarcastic and this is where the majority of the laughs come from.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThankfully both Thayer and Cassidy are good in their roles and this certainly helps since we spend the majority of the running time with them. Thayer is the star here and she turns in a nice performance but I still felt that only twenty-percent or so of her jokes actually worked. The film could have benefited had there been something more going on. Perhaps more in-jokes or at least something more to hold the vieweru0026#39;s attention.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs it stands, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEB has a creative title but itu0026#39;s too bad the film itself wasnu0026#39;t more creative.”
