Watch My Fair Zombie For Free

Excellent adaptation.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This is a zombie comedy with a few musical numbers. I believe most of us know the story on "My Fair Lady" and will be entertained by the similarities. Of course like most adaptations of Pygmalion, this one take liberties also, most noticeably, the zombie aspect. The second variation (plot spoiler) is that the classic flower girl who we think will become Eliza Doolittle.... well you'll see.The film spoofs itself and the British aristocracy as a group of prudish people who sit around on nice furniture and annoyingly stir their tea. There were a number of scenes that were too long and started to get boring in spite of the decent performances.Not much in the way of zombie horror.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

MY FAIR ZOMBIE is a straight-up filmed amateur dramatics production, so you can guess that it has a rough, amateurish feel with rock-bottom production values. It's a Canadian effort with everyone putting on British accents for a story set in London, and the actors are fairly convincing for their part. The tale is a comedic spoof of MY FAIR LADY with a zombie girl replacing Audrey Hepburn, but the jokes are rather obvious for my taste and I hate to say it, but I didn't crack a smile once.

Arrogant professor of phonetics Henry Higgins (a delightfully haughty portrayal by Lawrence Evenchick) makes a wager with the amiable Colonel Pickering (a solid and likable performance by Barry Craiger) that he can transform lowly zombie Eliza Dolittle (well played with lip-smacking brio by Sacha Gabriel) into a prim'n'proper lady within a matter of six months.Director Brett Kelly, who also co-wrote the clever script with Trevor Payer, offers a flavorsome evocation of the Edwardian period setting, keeps the hugely inspired story moving along at a swift pace, and offers an uproarious satirical commentary on manners, decorum, and propriety. The screenplay positively bristles with cutting wit, with plenty of spot-on sharp dialogue. Stephen John Tippet provides several neat and jaunty songs. Moreover, it's acted with great aplomb by an able and animated cast: The three leads do sterling work in their juicy roles, with sturdy support from Jennifer Valance as disapproving head maid Mrs. Pearce, Jason Redmond as the smitten Freddy Eynesford-Hill, and Payer as pesky interpretor Neppomuck. Alas, Jeremy Kennedy's pretty static cinematography and Kelly's competent, but overall pedestrian direction make this movie come across like a filmed version of a staged play: It's certainly entertaining enough, but could have benefited from a little more cinematic punch.
