Synopsis

Maybe you wanted to draw the attention of your friends, or become stronger and better than them during your adolescence. The film shows these through high school students, Philip, Winner and Conrad, who become zombies. They do not draw attention from friends. On the contrary, Philip is ignored by the girl he loves and by her boyfriend. Because they are weak, they are disregarded. He asks for advice from Rebecca, who is his neighbor. As Rebecca and her friends are having a ceremony, Philip and his friends get into a car accident. The three friends wake up to find themselves covered with a white cloth. They escape from the hospital to go home. The next morning, Philip puts Woosh's boyfriend to shame in front of her. They have become zombies with strong powers. They are smarter and stronger than before, and Philip even becomes a hero at a rugby game because he doesn't feel any physical pain. Woosh also falls in love with him. Philip holds a teenage party for the new hero at his house. Philip and Winner enjoy life as zombies, but meanwhile, Conrad exacts revenge from the people who gave him pain, thus becoming a real zombie. Conrad hurts himself going to a blood warehouse. Philip and Winner realize that they will become like Conrad, so they ask Rebecca for help to make a magic medication. This teenage comedy shows teenage boys longing to be strong men by becoming zombies. The reason why their zombie fantasy is broken is because the comic zombie has turned into a real zombie. This means that Fantasy must also end as a Fantasy. What is the genre of this movie, gore or comedy?
