COCKNEYS VS. ZOMBIES

Cockneys vs. Zombies is a 2012 horror film that was also billed as a comedy. This flick is among a rather long line of something-versus-zombies flicks that seem to have been popping up the past few years with the success of the zombie genre as a whole (like, for instance, the immensely popular TV show The Walking Dead). However, unlike some of those other flicks (like, say, Strippers vs. Zombies), this flick actually ain't half bad. The film takes place in--where else!--London (is it just me or do a lot of these zombie end-of-the-world type flicks take place in London?) and focuses on two "slacker" brothers who seek to help out their hardnosed grandfather who had raised them after the deaths of their parents (who died in a shootout with police while they watched). To keep the nursing home where their grandfather is residing in from closing down, they plan to rob a bank with the help of a couple of friends--including a psycho gun-toting black guy with a plate in his head--and their hottie cousin. However, during the course of said bank robbery, London falls victim to a--what else!--zombie plague. So, instead of being on the run from the law, they--along with their hostages--are on the run from--again, what else!--zombies when they try to rescue their beloved grandpa and the nursing home residents. I must say, it was rather amusing to watch the old folks gunning down the zombies (especially the old dude fighting in the zombies while in his wheelchair!)! Besides that, one of my favorite things about this flick was British actress hottie Michelle Ryan (who's perhaps best known, at least in the U.S., as having starred in the title role in the ill-fated Bionic Woman TV reboot some years ago). Michelle, of course, plays the hottie cousin who can unpick locks, hotwire cars and kick zombie ass! One minor complaint I did have with this flick, though, is that the accents got a little thick at times and was kind of hard to understand at times. Other than that minor issue, Cockneys vs. Zombies is actually a pretty entertaining flick--and, as I've pointed out before on this blog, I'm not the biggest fan of zombie flicks in general--and is not as campy or as silly as one might expect given the movie's name (and, honestly, how many films--horror or otherwise--can one say THAT about?).
