Horror, Comedy • 2011 • 96 min

Juan of the Dead is a horror-comedy film set in a zombie-infested Havana, where societal breakdown and misinformation become central themes. The public bias label of 'Leans Traditional' emerges from the film’s celebration of individualism and entrepreneurial flair amid government incompetence. While it subverts bureaucratic denial, it also features a non-traditional family dynamic that leans progressive. The satire is firmly rooted in Cuban context and avoids overt DEI themes, giving the film a balanced, yet ultimately traditional tilt on values-driven messaging.
