Funny Zombies




COCKNEYS VS. ZOMBIES-2012-English zombie comedy time again. Two dumb brothers rob a bank to get money to prevent the closing of the old age home where their grandfather (Alan Ford) is living. Just as they attempt the robbery some construction digging unearths old zombies who bite some workers. Soon local residents are turning into the flesh eating un-dead. The duo (with help from several other locals) makes their way to the old age home while blowing away the zombies in this gory horror comedy that borrows from SHAWN OF THE DEAD, DEAD-ALIVE and even the original DAWN OF THE DEAD. Later the whole cast get guns and a zombie bloodbath ensues.

The big surprise is seeing 87 year old Honor Blackman swear and kill zombies! I found it pretty enjoyable except  much of the dialogue was lost on me due to the heavy Cockney accents. It's the first feature film by a TV commercial maker Matthias Hoene.

Thanks for reading!
