COCKNEYS VS ZOMBIES [2012]

If Guy Richie had made From Dusk Till Dawn only with zombies, you'd probably get something like director Matthias Hoene's wildly entertaining gory comedy Cockneys vs Zombies.
The whole zombie thing has worn out it's welcome so it's nice to have some good laughs throughout a film like this to hold one's attention.  It does absolutely nothing to appear better than it really is (which way too many horror comedies try to do) and that's where it's charms are.  The characters are thinly written but likeable enough, the humor sticks to what it knows and the gore caters to the horror buffs.  If you think you'd like this film then chances are you won't be disappointed considering the title is exactly what the film is and nothing more.
