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?)
I watched it on Halloween and LOVED it!!!
ReplyDeleteSecond good review of this film I've seen - will have to watch it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great film, laughed me bollox off, like you said the West Ham v Millwall Z's was a highlight and the drop kick was funny too!
ReplyDeletesounds like a good laugh... see if it comes out here.
ReplyDeleteEven in death the buggers just can't stop fighting can they? Sounds like a rather fun piece though.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy this one, good funny movie
ReplyDeleteNever even heard of this one, but all seem to think it is good, will have to give it a run.
ReplyDeleteZombies plus humor is a win in my book. Will I be able to understand the dialogue without subtitles?
ReplyDelete;-)
Just about at times Monty!
DeleteGood 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!
ReplyDeleteNo Danny Dyer? I didn't think they were allowed to make a film in London if he wasn't in it innit.
I was looking for him but there was a clone or two.
DeleteOn the list Fran. Cheers
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was worth the watch. Cool beans.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun watch Fran. Have a good night.
ReplyDeleteHeh.. will have to give this a look when I get the chance.. maybe next time I head to the UK if it is still playing.. can;t see it showing up here in Turkey!
ReplyDeleteCockneys and Zombies having already seen a clip I know It is just my sort of thing. Lion and Hammer zombie fans.... nuff said!
ReplyDeleteAlways thought bad about these types of films but the way you described this one, I might just give it a look. Cheers :D
