By: Juan de PlasenciaCUSTOMS OF THE tagalogsAbout the AuthorJuan de Plasencia was born in the early 16th century as Juan Portocarrero in Plasencia, in the region of Extremadura, Spain. The first time they witness a zombie attack, at a community meeting, the crew is about as agitated as they'd be if a panhandler had started hassling people.

Lighting fails to strike twice in Alejandro Brugues's Juan … The main group of 'heroes' are a lot less likeable than their British and American counterparts but the film makes it clear that life in Cuba under Castro's regime has hardened these people and sentimentality and compassion for your fellow man is a thing of the past.
Brugues's script runs through a string of encounters and slaying techniques with comic potential, but most earn chuckles (if that) instead of laughter.
Alexis Diaz De Villegas is great as Juan, lanky and cool, using his big eyes and rubbery face for great comedic reactions. | Rotten (4). The best political statement comes at the end, though.
But eventually they find the plot, hiring themselves out with the slogan "we kill your loved ones." |, March 16, 2012
Filled with wild splatter slapstick, Juan of the Dead also deftly uses its zombie premise as an undead Trojan … Juan is a slacker trying to reconnect with his daughter, who plans to rejoin her mother in Miami.
China’s an especially interesting character; there’s a small bit of gay panic humor featuring her towards the end, but mostly she’s accepted as part of the group. Production Companies: La Zanfona Producciones/La 5ta avenida. |, March 8, 2012
His best friend is Lazaro, hairy and dim but likably so.

But the atmosphere is torpid, rather than happy: ennui is in the air, and the appearance of shuffling zombies is hardly noticed. “Juan of the Dead” achieves that tonal balance of scares, gore, laughs and heart that “Evil Dead” perfected and is a difficult thing to master. But Juan of the Dead feels dangerous in a wholly political way, as if writer and director Alejandro Brugués is courting Castro's courts by daring to raise his voice against Cuba's regime... in the guise of a zombie movie.

Your Ticket Confirmation # is located under the header in your email that reads "Your Ticket Reservation Details". As the zombie infestation overwhelms the island, Juan and Lazaro team up with China, a transvestite prostitute and El Primo, her musclebound boyfriend who is so troubled by the sight of blood he wears a blindfold on zombie killing missions. But the action is cobbled together too blatantly from spare parts of better films, and the obvious fakeness of its CGI effects fails to convince us of the danger they're fleeing.
Coming Soon. However, there are elements of his narration … The visually arresting bleached browns of Havana form a perfect backdrop for the liberal dousing of blood and severed limbs, whilst the plethora of set-piece deaths appear fresh in their originality. Missed it by that much. Polished and heartfelt, Juan brings a new voice in genre filmmaking from a land hamstrung by politics for decades.

Juan is no slacker; he’s a survivor, and De Villegas plays him with a knowing edge; under the seemingly lazy, shiftless exterior is an entrepreneur, a man who can take advantage of any situation.
| Rating: 3/4 There are ballsy political messages all throughout the film; some are subtle - a police van crashes into a roadside sign with a revolutionary message, Che Guevara’s head looms large in the background during a massacre - and some are not - California saying he wants to travel the world until he finds a country where no one has heard of Castro and then settle down there. by
If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices. And, like the rest of the movie, it feels very, very brave. Coming Soon, Regal In an unusual and unwelcome departure from genre convention, Juan has an awfully cavalier attitude toward the heroes' opportunistic slaying of the still-living: In one particularly ugly instance, Juan's pal Lazaro lets flesh-eaters devour a handicapped man so he can use the guy's wheelchair to carry looted booze. This movie was made for a guy like me.
| The fact that by the end of the film the main character has found his heart is perhaps predictable but still satisyfing.
Laugh out loud moments include Juan's best friend and his haphazard way of firing his harpoon gun at the wrong moments, a bodybuilder who keeps fainting at the sight of blood so has to wear a blindfold when fighting and a novel way of decapitation that I imagine is similar to the way people produce crop-circles!
| Top Critics (5) Along for the ride is Lazaro's son California, a long haired, perpetually stoned handsome kid who engages in petty larceny.
These two are old buddies, and the actors have the chemistry of men who have known each other for a long time - there’s affection, but there’s also an undercurrent of exasperation.
And then Juan's beautiful daughter, Camilla, the only good thing he has ever accomplished in his life, ends up with the ragtag band. But Juan of the Dead, while it echoes or riffs on Edgar Wright's film a couple of times, is very much its own beast.
Usually that sense comes from watching transgressive material, like A Serbian Film, where it's basic decency that is being flaunted.
