Fact: Zombie movies are B-movies. Okay, there are a couple of exceptions such as World War Z and Zombieland but for some reason the movie industry is willing to pour bucket loads of money into a romantic comedy or a stag movie in Las Vegas, but not into some good quality flesh-eaters. I call this the “Bridget Jones effect”. Melanie is a 2nd generation zombie with some antibodies which could save the planet. The mad medic (Glenn Close) plans on scooping out her brain and slicing up her spinal cord to get at the good stuff. Of course not all humans share the medic’s viewpoint so lots of internal arguments commence. The story never quite makes sense since Melanie is not cured but still likes to rip open any non-zombie she can get her hands on. A vaccine made from these antibodies hardly seems like a cure everyone would be willing to put their life on the line for. In B-movie fashion, the acting is awful, the story in dumb (why on Earth would you walk through a pack of a 100 zombies to get a can of soup when you have the whole of London to explore) and almost everyone dies. If you like zombies then there’s some fun to be had but otherwise look elsewhere. |
