Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2007 Verified Purchase I am on a lengthy mission to try to review every zombie movie. My latest entry is this odd little creation from 2004, "Die Nacht der Lebenden Loser" ( a. k. a. "Night of the Living Dorks"). A German Teen Romanic Comedy Zombie flick. Why not? First, and most important, what strain of Zombie are these "Loser" Zombies? These are the voodoo created, dorky, stoner high school variety. Aside from when Konrad gets his glowing eyes and blood lust, these are mostly cognizant zombies. They have super zombie strength and x-ray vision, but are slowly decomposing and becoming victims to their hunger for flesh. This has the "Teen Wolf" vibe where being a dork makes them outcasts, but being confident monsters makes them popular. This film has a very 80's vibe, in that respect. Not much killing or fear from these zombies, but Zombie Konrad gives us some good gore.

Night of the Living Dorks Synopsis Being a loser was never this cool Three not-so-cool school friends decide to try a old voodoo ritual. Later, they die in a car accident, but live on as zombies. But being a zombie has advantages, too... Cast Crew Details Genres Director Producers Writer Editor Cinematography Production Design Composer Popular reviews More If the same exact script was made in Germany (country of origin) and the United States, the only difference really being German vs English language, which one would come out on top? Maybe that depends on where you're from? I've thought about it before and now I want to ask you, do you think some movies seem to be better (despite having all of the same tropes and cliches of American teen horror-comedies) because they're foreign language? Maybe because I don't understand German, it's harder for me to recognize shit acting/shit script? Sort of like how the book is always better, we're reading the movie as it plays out, does this act as an advantage to an otherwise mediocre/bordering on stupid film?
I hope you enjoy it. Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2010 Verified Purchase Three teenage losers become undead heroes after a voodoo spell goes horribly wrong. The guys head out to exact revenge on their high school tormentors using their new found powers, while trying to win over the girls of their dreams. DORKS is sure to become a sleeper hit overseas after seeing phenomenal success in its home country of Germany, inspiring an American remake that is due out in 2010. Its classic teen misfits are perfectly cast and played with excellent comedic timing by the three leads. While the cliched humor often sinks to outrageous lows, the script is cleverly written with a sharp wit and tons of bloody gags. The film also benefits from being entirely self-aware, poking fun at genre conventions while paying homage to staple Horror entries like DAY OF THE DEAD. Dinter strikes a strong balance between the laughs and shocks as well, never favoring one over the other and including plenty of both.
0 out of 5 stars Night of the living dorks Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 23, 2016 Verified Purchase Good comedy zombie movie - night of the living dorks 4. 0 out of 5 stars 3. 5/5 stars Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2011 Verified Purchase This is a goofy little movie that manages to be a "Night of the Living Dead"/ John Hughes type teen-romance-comedy hybrid. Anchor Bay's DVD of Night of the Living Dorks offers the movie with the original German language or an English dub, both with full English subtitles. Maybe it's because I grew up with Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club and I'm also a big horror fan, but I enjoy this movie - the language barrier is no problem as much of the action speaks for itself. I must confess to being surprised that Anchor Bay has released this.
I prefer to listen to the actual voices of the actors in German and read the english subtitles. What makes this movie different from the normal zombie layout, is the fact that the zombie crisis happens to teenagers who also have the stresses of school, parents, cliques, and sex to deal with. When the teenagers are accidentally turned into zombies, they try to find a solution that will turn them back into normal mortals. All the while, they are still trying to keep up with school, teachers, their peers, parties, drugs, and sex as if being a zombie is just another problem to add to their teenage angst. But as they find that being zombies has a downside, they also find that it can also have it's upside. They just might be able to cross off some of their issues before they decompose completely. If you buy this cd, I suggest watching the special features. There are many more laughs to be had in the special features. As the cover of the movie says 'cult fiction', it is obvious while watching, that this is a classic.
But the threesome was five stars. Best german Zom Com... Loved this movie back in the day and still love it today Who wants to be a zombie? Everyone under the age of 30. So you have to like this movie by default. But... I hate the main character for not just going for the goth girl. She is more beautiful, more interesting, more honest AND is interested in him, but he goes for the plastic doll. Why, god, why. It's funny. Sometimes it feels like a rejected american comedy, but it's nicely done nonetheless. Recent reviews I still get a kick out of this Weird Science of zombie movies. better than i was expecting, but still definitely a silly teen horror comedy with lots of gross humor. not for everyone. it bordered on being too gross for me even if i did have a fun time with it. quando eu era criança, eu sempre pegava esse filme na video store junto com outras comédias do terror como "todo mundo quase morto" e "todo mundo em pânico 3". meu sentimento por esses filmes não mudou, eles ainda me remetem muitos bons momentos e é isso.
The DVD version that I bought has the option for English over-dubbing, but I found that wasn't needed to have a good laugh. I preferred it in the original German even though I don't speak German fluently many words sound the same like blood/blut for example. This version also has an alternative ending in the special features, which gives you about another half hour of the movie to enjoy. Though I understand why they changed the ending, it was still very cool to have the option to see it. Also the alternative ending does answer the question of why they talk about a dance they never attend. You'll enjoy this movie if you liked, "Shaun of the Dead" (Simon Pegg/Nick Frost) or "Black Sheep" (Nathan Meister/Peter Jackson, not the Chris Farley/David Spade movie). Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2008 Verified Purchase Night of the Living Dorks is a must have if you are a movie buff with a zombie movies' collection. The actors speak German, so you have the option of watching the film in dubbed languages, or subtitles.
… Zombies I found this monster list on IMDB so full credit goes to Mighty_Emperor there. It needs a lot of work… Horror Hospital Horror films which feature a hospital. I will also include Doctor's offices, as long as they are not therapists. Suggestions…
