Fest #10: Cockneys vs. Zombies

A fitting finale to this year's fest, and the final zombie movie off the evening. An ancient cemetery is opened up during construction of new luxury apartments, and an unspeakable evil unleashed (of course). Zombies invade the nearby old age home, which was scheduled to be demolished to make way for the new flats. Meanwhile, The grandsons on Ray, who leads the pensioners in their fight against the undead, have robbed a bank to get money to save granddad from being sent away. After a botched robbery (the second in this year's Fest) in which they nonetheless net 2.5 million pounds, they make their way to the home to rescue the pensioners. Great fun with the usual zombie elements, although creatively applied. Decent makeup and effects and the acting is spot on, although the accents can be a bit tough to follow at times (we left the subtitles on for that reason). A notch above the usual zombie comedy, although how it compares with the earlier zombie comedy "Go Goa Gone" I am not yet certain. Got to let it all perk in a bit. So that's all for Fest 22. Tune in next year for another episode! Same bat time, same bat blog!
