THE DEAD TIMES

RATING:

ZOMBIE RATING:

DESCRIPTION:

Zombies have risen and are running rampant but, for the aspiring individual with optimistic vision, every cloud has a silver lining. Just because the world is going through a bad patch at the moment does not mean imminent doom for mankind - people will rebuild, life will renew. To survive in this 'dog eat dog' world (the one following the present 'Zombie eat people' world) every entrepreneur is going to need money - lots of money. With the authorities stretched to the limit handling the dead people running around eating everyone, the opportunity to rob a bank and simply take all the lovely money required for the future has never been better. For a group of small-time gangsters led by Tony, the time to make a killing, is now.

MY VERDICT:

This is an above average comedy – far better than I thought when I first heard about the mash-up movie although some dubious acting draws it away from the dizzying comedic heights of Shaun of the Dead. Some of the stuff is just stupid, obviously staged, and none of the action is truly legendary but I do guarantee it'll at least get a smile on your face.
