CONSENSUS: “Disappointing acting by the lead, Brandon Routh, and a disappointing, easy-to-predict, detective tale doom this somewhat promising concept. There are moments on fun and humor, but overall it doesn’t do enough to reach recommendation status.” INSTAFLICKA INDEX 2.33 Paranormal investigator Dylan Dog unearths secrets about the undead in New Orleans with the help of his sidekick, zombie Marcus,
