Hole Head 2010 Program Guide - 'Dr. "S" Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies'
Dr. “S” Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies
Dir: Bryan Ortiz
Dr. “S” Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies begins in an idyllic American town in what appears to be the 50s. A `group of scientists has unleashed a terrible fate on the town as they research the ultimate weapon against the red menace.
The film opens with sweet Mary Jane and her boyfriend, Billy Everybody parked on “make out hill” where a joint of tainted reefer turns her boyfriend into a zombie. Dr. “S” to the rescue as an avenging angel in a white coat, glasses and the ever present pipe. Mary Jane is the archetypal horror film scream specialist and when she pauses for breath, grapples with the possibility that her family is dead. She demands an explanation from the good Dr. “S.” He explains that he and his team developed the special reefer for the government to use as a weapon, but it was unstable. He eventually went on to further experiments and tested some of the enhanced reefer on himself. Possibly a poor choice as he then went on to kill his entire team. He assures her there is a cure and that he’s going to “make it right.”
This black and white atomic zombie masterpiece plays on the early era of television and there are multiple spoofs on science films from the 50s that promise that science will essentially make everything in life easier and better. These ads are “brought to you by CINNIS Labs” with the promise that “we know what’s best because we’re scientists.” Yes, those fine people who brought us the atomic bomb. I would imagine these are the same fine folks who invented napalm as well. Yep, ya gotta love science!
Dr. “S” is out to save the world from the madness that he helped create. An experiment to fight the red menace runs terribly amuck and now there are zombies afoot. With trusty shotgun and dead-pan, side splitting one liners Dr. “S” takes Mary Jane from the clutches of evil and does his best to right the wrongs that he set in place.
Dr . “S” Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies is an impeccable spoof on Reefer Madness and uses the science films and the intermission films common in the fifties to take us to, well, a higher plane. In a world gone mad we are reminded, in a moment of perfect clarity, that cigarettes, in fact, can kill you. In this film? Yes, they do and quite quickly you’ll find! A rollicking madhouse of a zombie flick that is, without question, one of the very best of breed.
