Death won’t stop a bullied teen from getting revenge in Johnny Gruesome (review) out today On Demand.
High school students Eric Carter and Johnny Grissom are best friends. Johnny is a heavy metal rebel nicknamed “Johnny Gruesome” by his classmates. When Johnny is murdered while on a drunken joyride, his killer persuades Eric and Johnny’s girlfriend to help him make the murder look like an accidental death but Johnny returns from the grave as a murderous, wisecracking zombie hell-bent on revenge.
Based on the award-winning novel by director Gregory Lamberson (interview), also behind Slime City, Killer Rack, Johnny Gruesome stars Anthony De La Torre (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), Byron Brown II, and Michael DeLorenzo.
Johnny Gruesome is now On Demand and will arrive on DVD on January 1, 2019, from Uncork’d Entertainment.
