Juan of the Dead

• Horror
• Comedy

In a Havana gripped by a baffling zombie outbreak dismissed as anti-government dissent, disillusioned construction worker Juan unexpectedly finds a morbid business opportunity. He and his ragtag crew offer a uniquely Cuban solution to the undead problem – zombie extermination for a fee, promising to dispatch loved ones with efficient brutality. This darkly comedic take on the zombie apocalypse isn’t about survival or finding a cure; it’s a satirical exploration of economic desperation amidst societal breakdown, fueled by gallows humor and a surprisingly tender undercurrent of familial reconnection. The film subverts genre expectations by framing the apocalypse as a bleakly hilarious economic venture, emphasizing the absurdity of revolution and the lengths people will go to in the face of systemic failure, all while navigating a strained father-son relationship complicated by a clandestine love affair.
