Review of Cockneys vs Zombies (2012) by Kieran L — 02 Nov 2012

Swearing OAPs. Check. Honor Blackman with a machine gun. Check. Dexter Fletcher (albeit in a crucial cameo). Check. So far so British. The script contains some great ideas and well written dialogue and there is one moment in particular which is pure genius but somehow the director fails to quite deliver with the execution in his sophomore effort.

Perhaps it was a failure in the editing room but there was one scene featuring Richard Briers for example which was aiming for laughs and could have been so much better had it been placed in more capable hands.

Ultimately the film fails to repeat the success of its obvious inspiration Shaun of the Dead.
