‘DeadHead’ is a wickedly funny horror short that takes viewers on a wild ride through the quirky pursuit of vengeance by a good-natured middle-aged woman portrayed by T’Keyah Crystal Keymáh. Virginia Powers Hendry skillfully directs this sci-fi themed narrative, blending horror elements with a comedic tone that keeps the audience engaged and entertained.
The story unfolds as Wendy finds herself infected by an otherworldly force while tending to her garden. After being unjustly let go by her ruthless boss John (played with a delightfully bitchy attitude by Taylor Lee Marr), this infection becomes the catalyst for a supernatural act of revenge against all those who wrong her, including her boss.
The film’s strength lies in its hilarious comic delivery and adult-themed wit, with Marr’s portrayal of the unapologetically ruthless boss providing a humorous highlight. The script is complemented by impressive special effects that enhance the supernatural elements of the narrative. Will Barratt’s high-quality cinematography adds to the overall appeal, capturing the essence of the story with visual flair.
‘DeadHead’ successfully combines elements of horror, comedy, and science fiction, creating a thoroughly entertaining and unpredictable viewing experience. The film’s wild narrative, coupled with its solid comedic tone, makes it a standout short film that leaves a lasting impression on its audience.
