The Buddy Cop Zombie Comedy Now Loaded with All-New Extras!
Violent criminals who can't be killed are shooting up Los Angeles, and the investigation leads LAPD detectives Roger Mortis (Treat Williams) and Doug Bigelow (Joe Piscopo) to a mysterious pharmaceutical firm. But when Mortis is suddenly murdered, his coroner girlfriend and loose cannon partner discover the company's "resurrection machine" that turns Roger into the walking dead. Now the department's most unstoppable cops must battle zombie hit men, a butcher shop gone berserk and the deceased industrialist (the legendary Vincent Price in one of his final film roles) who may hold the key to it all. But can Mortis solve his own homicide case before he completely decomposes?
Darren McGavin (The Night Stalker), Lindsay Frost (The Ring) and Keye Luke (Gremlins) co-star in this wild combination of explosive action thriller and gory zombie comedy directed by Mark Goldblatt (The Punisher) and featuring grisly make-up effects and monsters by Steve Johnson (Species).

Buddy Cops gone wrong - 3.25 out of 5 (9/7/2004)
You always hear about those films that are "so bad. They are almost good." In fact the trivia books are filled with them. But you rarely hear about the films that are "so bad, they just remain so bad." And that's where DEAD HEAT comes in.
On paper, I'm sure the film looked like a gem. The plot in a nutshell has a zombie cop trying to solve his own murder before he rots away in twelve hours. In fact that little nugget of information is all you need to know to understand the entire basis of t
