DEAD HEAT

With Treat Williams, Joe Piscopo, Lindsay Frost, Vincent Price
Directed by Mark Goldblatt

Uproariously entertaining romp of two cops investigating a company that covers up its actual activities of regenerating the dead. Things hot up when our detectives get more personally affected. Piscopo is a hoot as the wise-ass partner to Williams' straighter cop. With pretty cool FX, the zombie freaks include everything from beastly bikers and hoods to the entire contents of a Chinese butcher shop! For nostalgia the film also features the legendary and frail Vincent Price in one of his last roles. Highly entertaining, even when it threatens to enter tacky Troma territory.
