...is the reason to watch this movie. She's so beautiful that most of the time she was on screen i was paying no attention to the story at all (which isn't a big problem if you think that so many zombie movies are similar and i have watched most of them). This is more a comedy than a horror and contains the slowest chase scene of all time which is simply hilarious. Kudos also to Alan Ford which is always a pleasure to watch. All in all a funny movie to spend the night with and if you like beautiful girls, well...Michelle is heavenly beautiful!
A great fun movie, which gets the balance of comedy and action just right. Although a zombie film, its not really that horrific, more of an action movie, and technically its more like East End Gangsters vs Zombies, but its a great ride. Bringing in the OAP's allows a lot of well known British actors to have a part, and it ups the comedy value. The action is gory and well played, and whilst the plot is paper thin, when its this much fun - who cares?!
Without seeing any images of the film, I though it was an horrible serious zombie movie. But in fact, the comedy is the principal way to see the movie, even if it's a little bit gore, on my way, I can't class this film into the horror movies class. The only message they told to us is to laugh. Some scenes are really funny, and we don't mind about all blood flowing from zombies or humans. In this movie, two young brothers decide to rob a bank in order to pay the retirement house of their grandpa' which is going to be destroyed by a rich society. During the robbery, zombies come all around the city ; the brothers try to escape from them, their grandpa and others retired people try to survive in their house. The plot is only about these persons and how they react facing this invasion. This movie is really easy to understand, and really funny. Characters of this film are good actors even if they are young actors. Harry Treadaway is the only one who had a role on a big production, which is ''The Lone Ranger'' by Gore Verbinski. All of them have some replies you'll remember for a moment, during funny moments. Old actors we see on the retirement house are famous, they had roles in ''Goldfinger'', ''Exorcist : The Beginning'' or ''Snatch'' with Jason Statham. There are some special effects with lot of blood flowing, red is a dominant color because of the blood we can see in lot of scenes. Some scenes looks like to be amateurish, but the way they tell the story in this movie is really interesting. I liked this film because i'm interested in zombie movies, horror movies or comedies. Funny moments are incredible, I remember a scene when an old man with a zimmer frame in the retirement house garden was pursued by a zombie, which make me laugh a lot. I would recommend this movie to people who love comedy and absurd, but be careful if you're reluctant to see blood, you could be shocked by this. It can reminds to people a movie of the same genre, ''Shaun of the Dead'' with Simon Pegg which is also a funny movie about zombies.
I can't say I expected this to be that good but I did expect to enjoy it more than I did. British zombie flick that will obviously draw comparisons to Shaun of the Dead (and to which it can't even compete with). There were some good ideas thrown around but I didn't really find it to be that funny at all. The two brothers and the grandpa are likable enough but I honestly just don't care about any of the characters. There is some cool gore but nothing that hasn't been done before. In my opinion, this was just a stereotypical zombie flick that attempted to add in some original ideas but was executed pretty poorly. For some reason the style and (attempted) comedy of this movie reminded me of 30 Minutes Or Less, which I also gave a 3/10...Score: 3/10 Watch again?: Nope
