'Goal of the Dead' is 2014 French horror comedy directed by Thierry Poiraud and Benjamin Rocher; written by Tristan Schulmann, Marie Garel Weiss, Quoc Dang Tran, Ismal Sy Savan, and Laetitia Trapet; and starring Alban Lenoir, Charlie Bruneau, Tiphaine Daviot, Ahmed Sylla, and Alexandre Philip as association football players and fans who must battle zombies when the entire stadium becomes infected.

Plot



When a former local star returns home to play a match, he receives a hostile welcome. One of the local players is injected with infected steroids before the match, and he goes on a violent rampage.

Reception



Jordan Mintzer of 'The Hollywood Reporter' called it an "amusing and gory" film that suffers for its length. Andrew Pollard of 'Starburst' rated it 8/10 stars and wrote, "Despite its ludicrous-sounding plot, 'Goal of the Dead' is a massively enjoyable movie." Ben Bussey of Brutal as Hell called it "a perfectly entertaining film" that is "far longer than any light-hearted comedy horror movie really needs to be".
