Those pesky zombies are at it again!
The Story:
Over in London's East End, a pair of slacker brothers, Terry (Rasmus Hardiker) and Andy (Harry Treadway) decide on a plan to rob a bank to save their granddad's (Alan Ford) retirement home. They bring in some assistance including their cousin (Michelle Ryan) but wouldn't you know that during their robbery, a zombie outbreak sweeps through the streets. Now the gang has to get to the retirement home and save their grandfather and other residents before it's too late!
Bwahaahahaha....
Good stuff.
Again!
The horror-comedy genre is alive and kicking, and maybe I should specify that it's a zombie-com... Zom-Com? Could this be the latest subgenre of film?
If so, count this guy as a fan. I've been having a blast watching these films this year, and Cockneys vs. Zombies is a proud addition to the roster.
The film relishes its R rating, and the Brits are swearing up one side and down the other as they try and fight off the Zombie hordes.
As to how the outbreak started, stroke of historical genius that I won't spoil here, but made for a very amusing start to the film.
All of the cast does a stellar job, and I was only familiar with one cast member: Honor Blackman. Yep, apparently Pussy Galore is alive and well, and living in a retirement home! She gets to kick a little butt when the zombies attack the retirement home.
Plus, I would be remiss if I didn't say that this movie has....
THE
GREATEST
ZOMBIE
CHASE
SCENE.
EVER!!!
I kid you not. I was laughing so hard, and it must be seen to be enjoyed properly.
Highly Recommended!
Final Grade: B+/A- take your pick, I wouldn't argue either way.
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Again, it's hard to pull these off at my house, but I wouldn't complain about seeing it again during the Halloween holiday season. I think we're closing in on double digits of great horror comedy films, just this year alone!
