Angry Lurker Honest Movie Review 90: Cockneys vs Zombies 2012 (3 STARS).

"The Undead are Brown Bread"....what more can you say?

The term Cockney has geographical, cultural and linguistic associations. Traditionally, it refers to people born within a certain area, that is covered "by the sound of bow bells" (St.Mary-Le-Bow church). Geographically and culturally, it is often used to refer to working class Londoners, particularly those in the East end. Linguistically, it can refer to the accent and English spoken by this group.


A group of slightly inept bank robbers plan a bank robbery to save their grandfathers retirement home but in the meantime a crypt is found in an old graveyard and opened by a construction company and the undead are released. They need to get to the retirement home before the zombies do, cue zombie shenanigans!

This is a low budget, fun zombie movie with good and bad special effects but also good performances from the leads (Alan Ford, Michelle Ryan etc...), over the top at times including the cockney dialogue, well worth a watch though!

The highlight was watching Millwall football zombie supporters attacking West Ham zombie supporters....brilliant! (I hope it was those teams?)

  8. Zombies plus humor is a win in my book. Will I be able to understand the dialogue without subtitles?

  9. Good man! There's so many shite zombie films about, it's good to get one that I'd sort of written off as being one of them, reviewed. Three stars from you makes it worth a go, cheers!

    No Danny Dyer? I didn't think they were allowed to make a film in London if he wasn't in it innit.
