Deadgirl (2008)

A lot of times when I am watching a movie or a tv show that my wife finds disturbing, she will ask me why I am watching it and ask how it will affect me or some other silly question.  Usually, I watch these shows because, at some level, I find them enjoyable.  She was asleep when I watched Deadgirl, which is funny because if she would have asked why I was watching it, I might have agreed with her and turned it off. 

It is a train wreck of a film.  Not that it is shot or acted bad, but train wreck in the sense that you can't look away.  I kept thinking to myself that I couldn't believe someone thought this movie up.  Well, actually I can, but I can't believe that they then wrote this idea down. 

Plot-  Two teens find a "corpse" in an abandoned mental hospital that isn't really dead and, it is later shown, can't be killed.  She is chained to a gourney and covered in plastic.  The bad influence teen is getting pretty excited about seeing a naked girl, even though he thinks she is dead.  The "normal" teen is getting pretty freaked out.  The evil teen then cops a feel and they realize that the body is indeed alive, and this is where the movie dives off the deepend.  Normal teen states he doesn't want to "have fun" with the chained down girl, but agrees to keep her secret. 
The next day, evil teen makes normal teen come back and witness that the girl can't be killed.  He apparently discovered this as the deadgirl started snapping her teeth and he wanted to teach her a lesson.  Of course the beating she sustained has done nothing for her looks and now she has bullet holes in her stomach from the second demostration.  Weirdo evil teen seems to be even more turned on and quits going to school to have sex with the zombie on a pretty much constant basis.  Worse he reqruits another kid at school to have sex with the zombie when he can't (maybe he thinks she will get lonely).  Not really understanding the movie at all at this point and it gets weirder from here. 
Characters-  They do a pretty good job of fleshing out the characters and the acting isn't bad, but I just am not sure that character motivations would have taken the characters where they go.  I find it hard to fathom that one person would act like that, let alone almost every character.  The film portrays men as nothing but sex addicts that will drop their pants for anything, and I mean anything, that is offered. 

Overall- I don't know that I can actually recommend this movie for anyone.  It has been a long time since a movie disturbed me and this one hit that note and hung with it from about 30 minutes in to the very end.  Not sure why I finished it.  I guess I was just hoping that the "normal" teen would redeem himself.
