Synopsis: Shaun, a nobody who works at British version of a Radio Shack, and his pal, Ed, an even bigger nobody, find themselves in the middle of a worldwide zombie epidemic. As they set out to collect Shaun's "mum" and his girlfriend Liz, they end up with more than they can handle. They get into the local pub, The Winchester, and decide to wait it out. After a couple of accidents the bumbling duo find themselves fending off a hoard of bloodthirsty "zed-words," because the term "zombie" is ridiculous. Can they all survive or will they become zed-food?
Review: After wiping my eyes dry and changing my urine soaked unders, I was finally able to call by brother (who still has yet to give me those reviews he said he was working on, and said he would have to me about...um...two months ago!) and tell him that he had to see this movie. I laughed my ass off from beginning to end and all through the middle. It is the perfect underdog, zombie-hunter, stupid humor, horror flick ever shot. The make-up was fantastic, the storyline was original and funny, and the acting made the movie even funnier. Other than taking a bit to get going, this movie was damn near perfect. Until another one comes along that can hold a candle to it, I, Jonny Cage, shall label this movie, "The Greatest Zomedy Ever Made."
Rating: 24. Simply because the story took a bit to get going. Other than that this movie is one of my top ten horrors of all time. Even though it is more comedy then horror, it is still considered in the horror genre. Please people, if you haven't seen this movie for any reason, put your values and standards aside and get lost in a British world of zombie fun! (24of25).
