Night of the Living Dorks

Andreas Grimm: The film score of the zombie comedy Die Nacht der lebenden Loser (Night of the Living Dorks) thrives on the contrast between dramatic orchestral scoring and punk songs. The B-movie charm of classic zombie films is evoked through deliberately exaggerated musical explicitness, while the balance between playing with clichés and conveying genuine emotion is carefully maintained.

The 2004 film Die Nacht der lebenden Loser (Night of the Living Dorks) parodies zombie films with horror-comedy. Directed by Matthias Dinter and produced by Philip Voges and Andreas Schneppe, the story follows outsiders Philip, Konrad, and Wurst (Tino Mewes, Thomas Schmieder, Manuel Cortez), who turn into zombies after a voodoo ritual. At first, they enjoy their newfound powers, but soon they search for a way back to life. The film was praised for its humorous take on the genre.
