Horror comedy about three slackers who end up hooked up with a beautiful girl who may or may not have the solution to the zombie plague.
You've seen this before, Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland come first to mind. Never mind whole sequences in the George Romero zombie films. Its the sort of film that makes you wonder why this was made when the filmmakers aren't really bringing anything new to the table, even though it kind of feels like they think they are.
Actually thats wrong, they do bring one spectacularly great thing to the table, the opening news sequence. The opening sequence of one of our heroes going through a deserted city inter-cut with news footage of riots and police and officials talking of the problem is brilliant. Its the sort of thing that raises the bar in similar films and makes you wish that the rest of the film was on that high (classic) level. After that its all down hill and while the film is amusing, it never is great again.
Worth a look for zombie fans. All others may want to think about it first.
