Juan de los muertos (Juan of the Dead)

Zombie alert in Cuba! On state television, the murderous undead are quickly identified as dissidents financed and controlled by the US. The good-for-nothing Juan doesn’t buy it and smells a business opportunity: from now on, he and his quirky crew offer their services as private zombie hitmen. Disguised as a satirical horror comedy, Alejandro Brugués offers a biting, incisive commentary on the political reality of the socialist island nation. JUAN DE LOS MUERTOS has been described as the first Cuban zombie film – and has achieved cult status.
