He didn't bring her home...

Ok yes.. I know that the rape and everything else is the MOST horrible part of this movie, but once I got past the fact that, yes, these kids ARE raping a deadgirl and thought just for a moment that all of this is really happening.. I started to feel good that the main character started to take charge and free the victims. But then when all was said and done, she lay dying in his arms, the woman he loves so very much, and asks as a dying wish to be brought back home by the man who loves her and tried to save her. So what does he do? A 180 and turns her into a fu*k slave zombie! Was anyone else as upset by that as I was!? All this *beep* about loving her so much and you're gonna treat the one you love like that and not even give her a proper burial and grant her last wish.!

Where's Duke Nukem? I want him to say "I'd STILL hit it!" right now because I wouldn't.

The point debated currently is that he LOVED her and didn't want her to die. So he made her undead, and instead of fu**ing the UNDEAD out of her, he decides to bring her gifts and other fanciful bullcrap. We all know he started fu**ing the death out of her. No point arguing with your observation, mxt. You are right.

He had a change of heart at the end because the bitch treated him like *beep* Did we not see the same ending? He said I love you as she lay dying in his arms and her last line in the movie was "Grow up." - OK Bitch, ur now my zombie sex-slave, that grown-up enough for you?

[–] Scribblenaut 13 years ago

Huh? was that directed at me or the OP. IMDB is so confusing.

Anyway, I think people are way too focused on that final cut away to actually sit and remember the event s that preceded it.

At that point Joann was dying and Rickie wanted to hear her say "I love you." but instead she spit in his face and told him to take her home. JT, who's now infected, starts calling Rickie over so he can turn Joann into a deadgirl. So instead of letting Joann die, and their final moments together end like this, Rickie decides to turn her. It's obvious deadgirls can't live normal lives to he ties her up and makes her as comfortable as possible (ie, gifts, clean clothes, flowers).

It's not that hard to figure out people.

It's obvious deadgirls can't live normal lives to he ties her up and makes her as comfortable as possible (ie, gifts, clean clothes, flowers).

Really? You saw that as him trying to make her "comfortable?" I think that was meant more to keep his fantasy alive. He's probably hitting that zombie-vag every chance he gets, not caring what she wants if she even has any human consciousness left.

He's loved her for years, he always wanted to be with her, and she didn't. When he realized that she didn't love him, didn't want to be with him, and just wanted to be brought home, which would involve quite a lot of explaining on his part, he did the selfish thing and got his buddy to turn her for him.

Since he's loved Joann for so long, he's not going to get what he wants by sticking his dick in a rotting pile of flesh in a cold, dark, empty room, or else he would have been happy with just having deadgirl. So he cleans her up, dresses her in fresh clothes, brings her things, and makes the room nicer. Now he can keep his fantasy of having Joann as his girlfriend without any chance of her leaving him. She'll always be where he left her.

In what way did Rickie free the victim (after raping her and allowing her to be raped)?

Rickie showed his (weak)colours from the minute he ignored a naked girl he found and allowed his perverted friend to do what he wanted with her, followed by most of the town.

In what possible way was he normal? How else could it have ended - him as a hero?

[–] Arien_78 9 years ago

Rickie never raped her...

[–] olivia_bai 14 years ago

I think when she was dying he asked her to say i love u back but she was able to say "bring me home" but still didnt say "i love u". Then he had this really disappointed look on his face, so maybe thats why he kept her in the basement.

[–] Arien_78 9 years ago

He didn't ask. He just said he loved her a few times and she spit in his face and said phuq-ing grow up.

[–] PennyxDreadful 14 years ago

The main character was a scumbag. He was just as bad as his friends, so yeah... The ending wasn't a surprise. He has her clothed and has affection for her - but he's still got her tied up underground/is possibly raping her(?). Even if he doesn't realize it - and he probably doesn't, which might be the point - is that he's just as bad as his friends and... all other men?

I don't know, honestly. I'm not sure what message this movie was going for, but I'm pretty sure it's one I don't agree with. The average teenage boy isn't going to find a hot zombie in a basement and immediately decide he wants to stick his dick in that. And even if one incredibly depraved boy did find her and decide that, I seriously doubt every one of his friends and schoolmates who found out would need minimal convincing to join in rather than... You know... calling the cops.

[–] bite_me_loser_86 13 years ago

The message this movie is going for is that women aren't allowed to a will of their own. I agree in many ways the main character was not a hero at all, he was in fact just as misogynystic as his friends.
What he didn't seem to want to acccept was that Joann had THE RIGHT to refuse him. She is NOT obligated to love him back just because he loves her so much. She is not obligated to be with him just because he thinks he would be perfect for her. She has every right in the world to reject him and to choose to be with Johnny the douche bag. Whether or not that is a bad decision is irrelevant. The point is she is her OWN person, she is entitled to make her own choices, she is not his possession and he is not entitled to her just because he hasn't been able to get over all for all these years.

But this movie shows us that even the good guy does not think Joann, a woman, is allowed to make her own choices. JT even told him that she would RATHER DIE than be with him. She asks him to take her home. He ignores that and decides to force her to be with him anyway.

It reeks of misogyny.

[–] southtxabstract 13 years ago

bite me loser 86...I agree with you.Then again he isnt obligated to save her.I know what you mean but the girl WAS a cold hearted biaatch(at the end only)She didnt have to spit on his face.She shouldve just said "take me home" and thats it.He was a messed up dude but the girl wanted to act all tough to the other 3 guys in the parling lot and was strapped by them not the main guy.I mean if youre gonna get saved geez a little thanks would have done it.She didnt have to say she loved him back or anything but a little gratitude wouldve been nice.So by that one reaction i wasnt suprised at the ending
SARAH PALIN. Hero of the stupid.

[–] Herreken 13 years ago

I was a little confused by that part. Did she spit in his face on purpose or was she choking on blood and inadvertently got it on him? Another question: did she say "F you" before she asks him to take her home? The volume was really freaking weak when I was watching this on Netflix.

Ugh. The volume was god awful on Netflix.

She told him to phuq-ing grow up

[–] movie_obsessive 13 years ago

Couple of points, I dont think she spat in his face on purpose. It was blood, she'd just been stabbed its likely it was in her lungs and coughing it up was involuntary. She asks to go home but the last thing she says to him is *beep* grow up'. I think at this point he realises she will never love him in reality, but in the alternate reality they have built in the basement he can believe she will love him. The previous dead girl never spoke so its easy to assume this new dead girl wont be able to tell him to leave her alone or grow up. He brings he gifts because he sees her as his girlfriend. And he looks so peaceful at the end when at school, and walking to see her, because he believes she loves him back. The fact that he loves her without her being able to talk or move is an exaggeration of their relationship throughout the film. He never loved the real her, never got to know her. He just loved the idea of her.

Was that as good for you as it was for me?-Mr Blonde

[–] futurama_rules-645-22642 13 years ago

She was progressively more of a biaatch throughout the movie.
At first, it was fine, she just didn't want to be with him. That's not mean at all and those things are normal. I don't care about that.

But then... she had to tell her jock douchebag boyfriend that he wanted to go out with her... SHE HAD TO KNOW how this *beep* would react to that. One douche is the same as all the others really.

Then Ricky tries to tell her that all he wanted her to know is that he tried to stop whatever happened from happening. She has to farther the bitch card by saying that they can't be seen together.

Then later, all Ricky wants to do is help her out of the situation, and she just keeps fighting and carrying on. He just wants to help her.

I agree, she didn't have to say she loved him. I didn't even want them to end up together at that point but come on. He's the only one there trying to help you out of there.

I don't think that she wanted to be with the douche bag, but in that case, she does.

I haven't give a proper think to this movie yet, but I think there's much more going in there.

[–] lorddeano 14 years ago

The moment at the end on the stairs after she has been bitten, he confesses his undying love for her and she coughs blood in his face and says "*beep* you Ricky".

At this point he sits back and realises she would never be his and return the love.

So he gives in. Ties her up. And bangs the living hell out of her everyday haha

[–] Little_miss134 13 years ago

I was a bit sickened by that ending, although the film makes it clear Ricky is 'looking after' Joann, by keeping her clean, clothed, bringing her gifts, trying to make her some fairytale sleeping beauty in the caverous basement of the asylum. But its also implied that he's *beep* the unwilling crapp out of her too.
But everyone here keep repeating the same thing, that 'He LOVES her', when he is actually just obsessed by her. Even though the teenage male POV isnt as 'romantic' as a girls of the same age would be, isnt it clear he actually doesnt know her that well? They shared a kiss when they were kids-and she has to correct him about when it was. Ricky never has a conversation with her, and in his daydreams about her she is either silent and staring at him with an unreal intensity, or is silent and sucking his cock. She's an attractive girl with a boyfriend he hates/envies. He doesnt care about her, he just wants to posess her. Hence his uncertainty when JT is telling him' so you save her-then what? what do you think she'l do? *beep* you? Thank you? She'd never choose you in a million years, man'
He doesnt take her home as she asks. He doesnt tell her parents where she is, or JT's grandma, or tell the hospital staff why two jock-type teens appear to be the walking undead, or explain where Wheeler went to. Nor does he warn anyone that theres an undead girl on the loose who can make more of her kind with a single bite. Narcissism to the core.

He corrected her on when it happened.

[–] Offworld_Colony 13 years ago

Fully, fully should have ended just before the coda. After she spits and we see Dode from Brick. And his mind is ticking over. Should have let our minds make up whether his is'good' or 'bad'. Left the social commentary intact.

She doesn't say "f** you, Ricky", she says "f**ing grow up".

[–] unknown_soul278 13 years ago

I do think the end shows his realizing that this girl he has put on a pedestal really is a stuck up little bitch so turning her into his own 'deadgirl' was a payback in a way. But, I really can't agree with the rape issue. All the original 'deadgirl' showed was pure animal instinct for killing, nothing else. An actual animal still has feelings and emotions (and if you can't buy that go rescue an abused, starving dog and see how they look at you)... she didn't. It was all about killing to her... and 'her' is an overstatement. 'It' would be more accurate. I don't see it as rape. It was sick and twisted as all get-out, true, but rape isn't really the right word.

The wild, cruel animal is not behind the bars of a cage. He is in front of it.

Rickie turned out to be about as morbid as his warped friends.
