Cockneys vs Zombies (2012)
Aka We Still Kill the Very Old Way.
A fun exercise in geezers, grandparents and gore as a zombie outbreak brings the East End of London to it's knees as a gang of bank robbers and a nursing home full of pensioners come up against the shambling dead.
The film has an excellent cast including a kick ass Michelle Ryan, Tony Selby, a sweary Honor Blackman, a flirty Georgina Hale, Dudley Sutton and Alan Ford ala Danny Dyer simply playing himself in all his cockney hard man glory.
Parts of this film really are quite funny, such as Richard Briers hurrying (probably not the right word) from zombies with his Zimmer frame at snails pace and the gore is frequent and strong. Some excellent set pieces, a pacy, vibrant and witty script all come together to help make Cockneys vs Zombies a film with plenty of rewatch value.
