IMDB

A couple of dorky college kids are walking along the street, I guess the Greek strip, when they see a beautiful woman. J.C. goes and talks to her and tells her about his friend Chris who is in love-at-first-sight with her. Sadly she has a boyfriend, which Chris does not know. He thinks the only way to get her to fall for him is to join a frat. Her boyfriend is the head (or whatever the main frat guy is called). He says they need to dig up a corpse and put it on the steps of another frat. They head to the morgue, but end up in a cryogenics lab. They defrost a body, but it comes back to life and they bolt.
Now, after reading that how can you not immediately add it to the top of your Netflix queue? That is only the first maybe 15 minutes of this movie. The rest involves a hilarious tough-talking police officer, space slugs that turn people into zombies and Chris trying to find love with the girl of his dreams.
Such an awesome movie. The directing is really good and the acting is good enough. A very watchable late night style horror/comedy.

9/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
