Otto; Or, Up With Dead People

Directed by Bruce LaBruce

Otto is a gay zombie facing an existential crisis. Struggling to adapt to the undead way of life, he wanders the streets of Berlin with nowhere to go. That is until he meets Medea Yarn, an experimental filmmaker out to change the world with her new ‘political porno zombie movie’. As this queer dead uprising takes place, Bruce LaBruce breaks all the rules, combining horror, pornography, silent film and documentary styles in his diabolical concoction of sex, gore and social commentary. Not since Romero’s army of corpses descended on a shopping mall in Pittsburgh has the zombie film been so innovative and politically charged. Only this time, they’re gay!

Please note: contains graphic sexual imagery and violent gore scenes
