After the disappointing efforts of comic-horror STRIPPERS VS. WEREWOLVES, the prospect of a similar themed feature entitled COCKNEYS VS. ZOMBIES didn’t sound promising. Having now recently caught the film, it’s a surprisingly strong gore-filled comedy that almost plays as a side-quel to the now-iconic SHAUN OF THE DEAD, with a super stand-out performance from the ever-awesome Alan Ford. The writing from James Moran comes with a lot of heart giving huge hilarity to the cast that includes Harry Treadwell, Jack Doolan, Michelle Ryan and Great Brits Honor Blackman, Richard Briers and Tony Selby.
We have this fun infographic poster giving all the precise details that you’d expect any zom-com starring Alan Ford to have. Eight and a half minutes before he gives his first four letter insult seems far off though, as it seems he’s firing the foul language as much as his machine gun!
COCKNEYS VS. ZOMBIES is released on DVD and Blu-ray 22nd October and is certainly worth grabbing!
