Careful, Zombies: Granddad Lived Through the Blitzwith Harry Treadaway and Alan Ford
Quote:
There’s not much difference between regular English soccer fans and the undead variety in “Cockneys vs Zombies”: Even when expired, they’re still ready to rumble with anyone wearing the colors of a rival team.
And that’s pretty much the point of this spirit-of-the-Blitz comedy from Matthias Hoene. Filled with East End grit and “EastEnders” escapees, the ragtag story is merely an excuse to remind us, all too emphatically, that Londoners won’t lie down. So when a zombie horde is loosed from a 17th-century vault by two startled construction workers, its chomping progress is less terrifying to residents than galvanizing.
