Film maker Bruce LaBruce has made two films featuring gay zombies: L.A. Zombie (2010) and Otto; or up with Dead People (2008)
L.A Zombie stars French porn star Francois Sagat
Canadian bad boy Bruce LaBruce is back with a hyper-sexual analysis of contemporary gay culture with L.A. Zombie, featuring Francois Sagat, Rocco Giovanni, Wolf Hudson, Eddie Diaz, and Andrew James. The film follows an alien zombie creature as he emerges from the sea and attempts to make sense of his new home, Los Angeles. After getting picked up by a surfer in a truck, a severe accident occurs that results in the surfer lying dead in the middle of the road. The alien zombie has sex with the dead man and brings him back to life. Wandering away from the accident, he finds himself among L.A.'s homeless population where it becomes increasingly unclear whether he really is an alien zombie or a schizophrenic suffering from delusions. Like a kind of dark savior, the alien zombie proceeds to find various dead men in the greater Los Angeles area and bring them back to life. Part porn; part horror; part art film; part critique of superficiality in the gay world; all Bruce LaBruce!

Otto; or Up With Dead People.
Once more straddling the line between art and smut, the underground and the indie scene, his latest, “Otto; Or, Up With Dead People,” unfolds in and around the radical gay zombie culture of Berlin. Having developed a modicum of reason, the living dead are wearily accepted in society at large, despite the growing “plague” of homosexual undead, whose twin tastes for cannibalism and sodomy lend Mr. LaBruce a characteristically irreverent means of riffing on AIDS and the fear of gay recruitment.
Enter Otto (Jey Crisfar), a melancholy young zombie who shuffles about in a lovesick stupor. He is enlisted by a pretentious avant-garde filmmaker named Medea (Katharina Klewinghaus) to participate in her magnum opus, a “dissertation on the undead” involving revolutionary Marxism and gay orgies.
One of the more disciplined entries in the LaBruce oeuvre, “Otto” is sexy and silly in just the right proportions, a cult item with a real heart — albeit one that tends to get torn from the rib cage and munched on by naked men conversant in the philosophy of Herbert Marcuse.
