Michael Ledo

Darryl (Alex Williamson) and Joel (Jim Jefferies) work at the telephone exchange during the zombie apocalypse. They are soon joined by their boss Roy (Greg Fleet) and his daughter Emma (Adele Vuko). Joel and Darryl had recently killed Roy's wife and Darryl spends the whole film attempting to break the news to Roy. They are later joined by two apprentices (Matthew Popp, Andy Trieu ) one of which is the boyfriend of Emma and not liked by her dad.This is an Australian comedy-horror. Our heroes are nonchalant about the zombie issue and care more about trivial aspects in comparison. There is plenty of blood and guts. Most of the humor consists of one liners that work.Guide: F-bomb. Brief sex and nudity.

(Disclaimer) This review may contain spoilers but to be honest it wouldn't really matter because this movie is so bad.First off I want to start by saying that at the time of writing my review there were 3 other reviews, 2 positive ones of which are both fake and obviously from people involved in the making of this absolute sh!t fest. The only other honest review was from Sarah. Secondly I want to say Jim Jefferies WTF were you thinking being involved with this crap? I know you were probably doing a mate a favour by being in this and I almost totally agree with Sarah's opinion on what happened to your character but being involved in an absolute sh!t show like this is the kinda thing that could end a career. I only watched this because of Jim Jefferies, he's as funny as fvck. His show Legit should never of gotten cancelled. It was far, far better than the likes of similar shows like Louie which got all artsy fartsy or Maron. Such a shame. If you've never seen his stand up you should really check it out, then you'd understand why I'm asking why he would ever have anything to do with crap like this. Check out his FreeDumb gig fvcking hilarious there's plenty of clips of his stuff on youtube. The only point which I might disagree with Sarah's review is that I think Jim Jefferies might have been in a scene near the end of the movie. The scene where they're in the escape tunnel there's a zombie in different closes from what Jim was wearing earlier that I'm almost certain was him.

despite generally poor reviews i watched this for jim jefferies thinking there must be something in it for his fans - believe me their is not. indeed, i thought and still think he gave up halve way thru and asked to be allowed to go home. i joke not. there is a scne part way thru where he seems to get blown up off screen and never appears again, itis hard to believe and all thru remainder of movie i expected he would return to paly soem key function in film, but he does not. I cannot say i blame him for asking to be let off early if that is what happened. there are so many Aussie tropes that could have played welll to a light hearted zombie comedy that are just missed in this film.another of those movies where u wonder how people can get backing and the be too lazy(?) or talentless(?) to do a decent job of putting together a fun wack the zombie movie. It has no idea of where it is headed, no sense of whether it wants to be light comedy, boys fun, gore, or whatever and achieves nothing. Nothing at all.

I have to say, I enjoyed this a lit more than I expected. It had lots of great one liners and awkward comedy moments, and zombies. Plus me, as a zombie extra, I should probably mention. Alex Williamson might well get another role playing the Aussie larrikin based on this performance. Most of his lines were pretty funny and pretty well delivered. Greg Fleet was also very solid and delivered some great lines. Plot wise I loved the concept, and the interplay between the characters was pretty clever. There wasn't a whole lot going on plot wise other than enough to deliver the next classic one liner or gore filled scene, but that wasn't really the point. One minor criticism, the military angle was unresolved, and seemed a bit of an afterthought. Overall, it was pretty bloody hilarious, and well worth your time, even if some of the humour borders on being more than a bit wrong. The opening image and the ending were original and unforgettable. The next movie Daniel and Declan make I'm sure I will also love, as the ideas, writing and humour overall are great. Then again I loved Hot Tub time Machine, so probably don't take this as gospel. To sum up, in my book it's already a cult classic. Aussie zom com - brilliantly realised.
