Funny, cute and different

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2013)

A quite different take on the zombie theme. On the surface a dumb and dumber premise but artfully handled and nice allusions to Zombie lit, Shakespeare and world politics. This film is often surprisingly beautifully shot with some nicely understated CGI and even more understated humour (even if occasionally borrowing from Shaun of the Dead...but who could resist?).
Not rip roaring laughs but delicate film making meshed with dumb zombie humour in a way that somehow works. Overall premise seems a bit cheesy but supported by the film's metaphor of accepting/understanding others ... difficult when someone wants your brains.
