Sometimes a film delivers on everything it promises. Rickey Bird’s 2014 short Naked Zombie Girl is one such film. It has copious amounts of both zombies and naked girl – staples of the grindhouse zombie horror movie genre.
I first came across this film at Screamfest Horror Film Festival in 2014. The filmmakers had brought in a large cardboard cutout of the film’s title character and I remember the snickers from the dozens upon dozens of attendees as they posed with it on Screamfest’s iconic “black carpet” – marketing genius right there.
The film went on to rake in over thirty awards from various festivals.
The movie’s premise is simple: three ill-fated survivors flee the city amidst a zombie apocalypse. Barabara (Meghan Chadeayne) loses not only her companions but also her dress as the zombie hoard descends upon them. With only her boots and a trusty chainsaw, the Naked Zombie girl must fight her way to survival. There is no place for modesty in the zombie apocalypse.
