Subtitles: [None] Length: 91 mins     A Killer Party You Won't Forget! Night of the Living Dead meets Fast Times At Ridgemont High (with a stop-over for Rock 'n' Roll High School) in this spoof of teenage monster movies, delinquency dramas, sports movies, and a brace of other film genres.When a group of high school underachievers get some bad weed from a dealer named Mussolini (Steve McCoy), the dealer dies and gets dumped in the river contaminated by nuclear waste.Quicker than you can say Three Mile Island, Mussolini is back, green-skinned and super-strong, killing the kids who did him in,ripping them apart one by one.But Mussolini provides the means to his own end, once and for all, when he goes after Dan Wake (Michael Rubin), the most ordinary kid in this bunch of losers and geeks.Spurred on by the loss of his beloved Cindy Faithful (Cassie Madden), Dan musters the courage from beyond the grave to finish off this monster. I Was A Teenage Zombie is a genre-twister of a movie -- one part teen exploitation, one part monster movie, and one part lunkhead comedy.Overlaying a script that's twice as clever as it sounds -- see if you can spot the dig at the head of the New York studio best known for this kind of lunkhead picture (hint:It's in a radio report about the contamination of the river) -- are some delightfully nasty FX courtesy of Mike Lacky and Carl Sorenson and the presence of an all-star array of New Wave and roots rock acts on the soundtrack: The Smithereens "Time and Time Again", The Violent Femmes "Good Feeling", the Del Fuegos "Have You Forgotten", Los Lobos "Why Do You Do", and The Fleshtones "I Was A Teenage Zombie", among others.Their music filled in the holes between the genres, in this midnight/drive-in movie to end them all.
