Gotta love the Cockneys! Almost giving up on the zombie genre, this film re-awakened the interest. From the dialogue to the story-line, this is non-stop action. The corniness adds to the excitement. It's been awhile since I seen this movie, but I can remember it left a good impression on the cinematography, story and dialogue. It's also utterly ridiculous. I'm not even British! Love it! This movie is inspiring me to make good movies only or stay home! Go Cockneys! In the first 5 minutes, you can tell if a movie is worth watching or not. Hope they make a sequel. Rofl.
... View MoreOnly the Brits could come up with a title like Cockney's vs Zombies. Its down to earth, humour filled zombie killing fun with a British East End flavour. The story starts a little slowly and there are occasional lapses in the momentum but by and large, this film is very entertaining and well worth your time if you like the zombie genre. The acting is excellent with a very strong cast including some genuine British acting veterans.For those like me who grew up with British comedy The Good Life there is the last film appearance of wonderful actor Richard Briers (Tom Good) at his low profile, self effacing best. Eight out of ten from me.
... View MoreA zombie film. Another one. Ever since Resident Evil they've been coming thick and fast - each one trying to add something different into the genre. Some work, most don't. Here we have a low budget British epic which does its best to steer away from comparisons with the classic Shaun of the Dead. However, it will always be doomed to fail on that front. For a start, it's British, it's a comedy, it has gore and is set in London, starring a load of 'average Joes' who just so happen to get caught up in an undead uprising.Although it's not bad. It has a few moments of humour and a decent amount of gore for such a low budget film. However, just as I can't really think of anything bad to say about it, I can't really think of anything good either. If you want zombies, gore and a dose of comedy, you really might as well just stick with Shaun of the Dead.Cockneys vs Zombies doesn't take itself seriously and die hard fans of the genre should find plenty to appreciate about it. It just seems a case of 'been there and done that.' I have to say I was kind of hoping, seeing as the film was set in the East End of London, to watch hordes of rampant flesh-eating ghouls rampaging through Albert Square, ripping apart patrons of the Queen Vic in the process. Now that would be worth the price of any cinema admission!
... View MoreI can't say I expected this to be that good but I did expect to enjoy it more than I did. British zombie flick that will obviously draw comparisons to Shaun of the Dead (and to which it can't even compete with). There were some good ideas thrown around but I didn't really find it to be that funny at all. The two brothers and the grandpa are likable enough but I honestly just don't care about any of the characters. There is some cool gore but nothing that hasn't been done before. In my opinion, this was just a stereotypical zombie flick that attempted to add in some original ideas but was executed pretty poorly. For some reason the style and (attempted) comedy of this movie reminded me of 30 Minutes Or Less, which I also gave a 3/10...Score: 3/10 Watch again?: Nope
