01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Eager to impress his crush, Johnny Dingle arranges a fake robbery in the store where Missy McCloud works. Johnny intends to foil the robbery and save Missy. The plan backfires, and Johnny is shot. As he lies dying in the store, he asks her to the prom, and Missy agrees. After his funeral, Johnny inexplicably returns as a zombie and attempts to reintegrate into society. Though he faces anti-zombie discrimination, Johnny is allowed back in school, where he eats a bully. Missy, though reluctant to follow through with her promise, eventually agrees to attend the prom with Johnny. As Missy slowly falls for him, Johnny wrestles with his urge to cannibalize Missy. Johnny eventually overcomes his urges and takes Missy to the prom, where he finally decays to point of destruction. As he goes to heaven, Johnny learns that a mishap in heaven was the cause for his return as a zombie. Because he was never meant to die, he is sent back to Earth and given a second chance at life. Johnny again sacrifices himself for Missy during the robbery, but his life is spared when the bullet is deflected by a locket he bought as gift for Missy. Missy, overcome by his sacrifice and the gift of the locket, agrees to attend the prom with him.
