Premise
A British, comedic twist on the zombie horror genre.

Who should watch
Those who want some real laughs to go with their eaten brains.

Thoughts
I have to admit, I am not a zombie movie fan, so I probably missed some references and inside jokes. But it was the most enjoyable and intentionally funny of its kind I have ever seen.

Though it was still a zombie movie, most of it was more funny than scary. I liked that the filmmakers spent some time on the characters so you cared about them and made the comedy better. I'm sure everyone on set had a blast during shooting, and you could feel that energy on the screen.

What I would change
Quickened the pace near the end before it lost steam.
