This movie is a testament to what good writing, directing and acting can accomplish. Look for more from these people in the future. The sets are minimal, the story is told thru the actors words, body language and action. The zombies are just a plot tool, although this movie adds to the genre with zombie on zombie violence killing eating. The real story is the satire. A negative look into beauty pageants and the entertainment industry as a whole. The sleazy nature of the executives, staff, handlers and hangers on as well as the sexual exploitation of children. Pop culture and politics are ridiculed. There is subtle humor, Benny on the spot with the olive and the pick axe. At least three scenes where the viewer is left guessing. For me this built anticipation and drew me further into the story. The scenes that followed answered my questions. No accident- that's good writing. The show must and does go on. The smirk on Heather Z's face as she holds a pregnancy test to her abdomen, at the first closing, speaks volumes, raises questions and the possibility of squeal(s).
