10 Zombie Comedy Horror Movies You Probably Haven't Seen

10. Dead Heat

Dead Heat centres around Mortis (the late Treat Williams) and Bigelow (Joe Piscopo), two detectives who are tasked with taking down zombie criminals.

Not long into the investigation, Mortis is killed in the line of duty. When he's resurrected, Mortis gets right back to work, proving you can't keep a good cop dead. (That's not a joke. That's literally the film's tagline.) Decomposing at a rapid rate, Mortis must solve his own murder before he withers away.

Now, Dead Heat is far from perfect - the dialogue isn't great and the jokes are even worse - but thanks to Williams and Piscopo's effortless chemistry and comic timing, they make the dumbest gags work. For example, anyone who can make the line, "You have the right to remain disgusting" sound funny deserves an Oscar.

Despite the small budget, the special effects are genuinely jaw-dropping, and the scene where Mortis watches a woman decay before his eyes is sure to make almost anyone yell out, "How the hell did they do that?"

If you enjoyed the buddy cop dynamic of Lethal Weapon but always felt like it needed more zombies, Dead Heat is worth a look.
