As a zombie picture, Juan of the Dead is merely OK. But as a satirical comedy of life in Cuba under Castro, it totally kills - and keeps coming back for more.
Miami Herald
Polished and heartfelt, Juan brings a new voice in genre filmmaking from a land hamstrung by politics for decades.

Sure, some of the socialist humor and Cuban culture may be lost on American viewers, but the film is still a ton of fun.

This wacky zombie comedy exploits to the full this genre's juicy potential for satire: a more solemn kind of movie maybe couldn't get away with being quite as irreverent about the Castro government.

Guardian
A silly and occasionally creepy zombie movie, but one that also dares to have a brain...

Cinema Crazed
Not only is this movie funnier than "Shawn of the Dead", its obvious inspiration, it is proof that Cuba is not a totalitarian dungeon.

Rum zombie flick blends hit-and-miss buddy comedy with slyly subversive political commentary.

Description by OLDIES.com:
FROM THE STUDIO THAT BROUGHT YOU "SHAWN OF THE DEAD." It's equal parts splatter and laughter in this doomsday romp with a decidedly Cuban touch. When Havana begins to fill up with bloodthirsty zombies, Juan, a forty-year-old slacker, is left with no choice but to become a hero, save his country, and protect his family.
