Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

... View MoreA group of British bank robbers make their getaway during a major world wide zombie infestation. Danny (Simon Mathews) has been shot and it isn't rocket science to figure out what will happen. Tony (Huggy Leaver) is the gang leader. Q (Vincent Jerome) is the new guy and driver. Their van makes its way through the countryside looking for a safe house. Along the way we see clown zombies, doctor zombies, soccer zombies, and my favorite, re-enactor zombies.The cause of the infestation is unknown. The BBC smartly broadcasts instructions as what to do during the outbreak. On the plus side of this film is the British humor, although it is not a "Fido" over the top type of funny. On the negative side, the zombie actors were bad. There was little to no zombie make-up other than splatter red blood all over their faces. Much of the film takes place inside a van which makes things more "realistic" but at the same time more boring as we listen to conversations. The drawn scenes on the DVD cover are not in the film. They didn't spend that much money on special effects.It is a passable zombie film, although if you had trouble watching "Zombie Diaries" or "Zombie Apocalypse" you might take a pass on this one. It is less in quality. $9.96 at Walmart.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex. Brief distant male rear zombie nudity.
... View MoreFrom the very start, I thought it's gonna be a stupid comedy with zombies. But to my surprise, it wasn't even funny!? It was a low-budget with some CGI effects thrown in. The zombies were not scary at all. But there was a few scenes that had some good scary potential in it. Like the scene with 'Crazy Steve' in the gas station restroom checking his infected arm. The scene where Grandma pushes Tony outside and the zombies rush in the house by the dozens! And at towards the end of the film where our hero, Q, sacrifices himself to be the bait and leads the pier zombies away from his injured pals.It was not such a bad film, it just needed more finance and it could have been a very good film. My favorite character was the scene-stealing Grandma played by Jennie Lathan. She did a great job! And what a finish to her character! Priceless! The actor who played Tony, Huggy Leaver, who to me looked like Richard Jeni crossed with James Russo, did a nice job. I also liked Muscles played by Charlie Rawes, who looked like a cross between Jason Statham / Steve 'StoneCold' Austin.Like I said, I wish they would have had more money to work with to make the zombies more believable looking. But oh well, if you're a true zombie aficionado then check this film at least once.
... View MoreBriefly said, a van full of bank robbers have their getaway complicated by the oncoming zombie holocaust.This movie was a pleasant surprise for me. I was expecting a B movie. Especially since I found the title on a list of 'B' thrillers. What I found was a very well done flick that fit my mood to a tee.First thing to note is this is clearly in Guy Ritchie style (as in Lock Stock or Snatch). Now there is a fine line between cheap knock off, spoof and tribute. It mostly depends on how faithfully a style is recreated and it's underlying quality. The Ritchie style hits you right from the opening credits. Slick graphic credits interrupting brisk action sequences while the protagonist narrates, followed up by a by a cast of stereotypical British gangsters, each introduced by the narrator. It's a good imitation and I rate it a tribute. If you aren't fond of Rithchie's style you won't like this one either.I found the characters amusing, original and endearing (you gotta love grandma). Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised at the overall quality. Direction, cinematography, acting, writing, sound all above par. Well, one exception. If you are making a zombie movie, it might be judicious to employ the services of a make-up artist. Or, at the very least, insist that your extras pay a visit to the local costume shop at their own expense.It would be easy to criticize the finale which seems more like a cast party than a conclusion. But, think about it, there's only one end to a zombie flick. The zombies kill everyone. Isn't that what's meant by Apocalypse? If you took the trouble to search for this title, the answer is "Yes". Well worth a look see.
... View MoreI found this movie to be highly entertaining even with its low budget. It had everything you could want in a zombie flick. Random death scenes in the midst of character and situational development, decent gore given the budget, good use of cg, and the wholesome family fun a UK made for US comedy. It has blatant racism, giant English bank robbers who steal your heart, back stabbers, and pretty boys who have a touch of insanity. The situation is thrown in your face without reason similar to how things would really go down and have gone down in other zombie movies. The whole romance part this other person is complaining about isn't until you feel the need for it and I am guessing that they are just alone in life and cannot tolerate passion in times of crisis even though that has been proved time and time again in reality. I mean if I am gonna potentially get eaten by zombies and a decent looking English babe comes my way, far be it from me to try to woo her into going heels to Jesus....just saying. Come one, I mean what more could you ask for??? The people who gave this a low rating have a different taste in zombie films, or films in general. Give this a shot, have a shot, and enjoy!
