Movie Review: Cockneys vs Zombies

Originally written August 6th, 2014.

Netflix is awash with all sorts of no-budget horror mashups. From Zombie Strippers to Sharknado, there’s no shortage of awful B-Movies. However out of the mire comes Cockneys vs Zombies. This poor man’s Shaun of the Dead is the cream of the crap.

There’s not a lot to say that the title doesn’t already explain. Do you want to see cockneys fight zombies? Of course you do. Watch this movie.

The premise is incredibly stupid and the movie just runs with it. It doesn’t try to be anything more than it is- a ridiculous horror-comedy full of swearing Brits. A team of bank robbers and a group of retirees banter back in forth in near-unintelligible cockney accents. If that appeals to you, it delivers.

It’s far from perfect and even farther from being good, but it’s a fun ride. If you want mindless entertainment that’s of some (minimal) substance, this is the flick for you. Decent effects, decent performances, ludicrous zombie action, it’s all good.
