Featured review
You might think from the name and trailer that this film is nothing more than a cheap micky take of "dawn of the dead" and while it is at the same time its so much more than that.
The way Edgar shows our day to day lives as being lifeless zombies before the zombies even appear is so subtle and clever, the characters all feel very real or relatable, the story while silly makes sense, and ofc humor through is brilliant and I was honestly shocked when i saw people giving it 1 stars and saying its not funny.
