zombies ahoy

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2005)

As a rule I like the zombie genre, regardless of how classy or trashy the finished product is (according to popular opinion). I found this one a bit ho-hum, unfortunately. Yes, a different angle to the usual, but it must it always rain in zombie movies? The ending, at least, was non-standard, and actually funny.
I liked Barbara. I found the other characters annoying. I suppose they were meant to be annoying (to various degrees), but I found myself wishing they'd all succumb to zombie-ness and get it over with.
I liked the fart joke. I liked the quick sequences outlining what they intended to do (kill Philip, rescue Barbara etc). I liked a couple of other bits, but most of it was painful for me. Now on my list of "films to avoid".
