Cockneys vs Zombies (Matthias Hoene, 2012)

Zombie survival comedy again. The selling point this time is that it's the East End, but scenes capitalising on local flavour for comic effect (the Blitz spirit, football hooligans and so on) are too few and far between. The old folks' home under siege could also have been made far better use of, particularly as that's where the senior character actors are holed up. Instead, their potential is wasted almost so much as the ammunition on the unmenacing shuffling hordes, with everyone getting a chance to shoot some really big guns for minutes on end. Yawn.

3/10
