In Havana, a group of slackers led by the charismatic but lazy Juan (Alexis Díaz de Villegas) are catapulted into chaos when a zombie apocalypse erupts. As the government spins the undead as dissidents and the media goes into propaganda mode, Juan and his friends see a golden opportunity: charge desperate citizens for protection and zombie disposal. Blending dark humor with gore, this Cuban horror-comedy serves up a scathing satire of political doublespeak while delivering tense, bloody encounters. With its scrappy charm, clever social commentary, and a surprising amount of heart, ‘Juan of the Dead’ turns a familiar subgenre into a fresh, island-flavored tale of survival.

User Reviews
CineasteCarl – 7/10
“I wasn't sure what to expect from a Cuban zombie flick, but this was a blast. The mix of satire and splatter worked really well, and the cast had great chemistry. The social commentary adds depth without slowing down the fun.”
GoreGoblin – 6/10
“It's a decent zombie comedy with some clever twists on the genre. The gore is solid, and the political jokes land. My only gripe is the pacing drags in the middle, but the finale brings it home.”
HorrorHoney – 5/10
“I wanted to love it, but the humor didn't always hit for me. The zombies were cool and the setting is original, but the characters felt one-note. It's an okay watch if you're into zombie flicks, but not a must-see.”
ScarySue – 7/10
“As a horror fan, I appreciated the fresh take—zombies in Cuba, with the government covering it up. The film balances laughs and scares nicely, and the social satire is sharp. Definitely check it out if you want something different.”
