Bryan P Think bad taste, Shaun of the dead and some great comedy moments and you have the basics, funny and yeah with some slow moments but a great idea and some proper laugh ou loud moments make this a unique film Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/23 Full Review Stewart S Zombogalypse is a wacky horror comedy that feels like the three way love child of Shaun of the Dead, The Office and Seinfeld. Centred around three inept people who think the world revolves around them, the trio has already been surviving in the Zombie Apocalypse for a decade. Finding themselves bored, they decide to make a movie about their life and rope in a bunch of other survivors with the promise of things they don't actually have. The movie is told in the "Vlog" style, with characters either holding the camera or being filmed by others who are all other characters in the movie so there's a found footage/documentary feel to everything which lends itself to the humour. If you like The Office or Parks & Rec then you'll like this style of shooting, with characters delivering candid interviews to camera in between the action and some genuinely funny improv. The three leads are likeable in the same way we like the cast of Seinfeld - they are pretty horrible people that really only care about themselves but it's the wacky scenarios that they get into which make them endearing. Tony is a crazy gun nut that loves blowing up zombies and re-enacting Metal Gear Solid. Hannah is a happy-go-lucky book lover who runs from the first sight of a Zombie. Miles is indifferent to the Zombie threat, wanting to sipping tea from a china cup while slapping the hands of hungry Zombies away with an umbrella as if they are a minor inconvenience. Despite all the horrible things they do in the movie (a lot of people die in pursuit of making their film!), you still find them likeable. Much of this is down to their childlike passion to make their movie and obliviousness to all the pain and terror happening to everyone around them. Their film crew come in the form of some truly talented actors who do some impressive improv and frantically run around trying to make an actual movie whilst Hannah, Tony & Miles play Spielberg. Those looking for some Zombie chaos will also be pleased as there are some really frantic and gory moments in the second act, culminating in a horde of fast zombies (or "Fastards" as Tony calls them) descending upon the film shoot. When there's gore it's mostly practical effects and there's plenty of intestines and flesh being torn out to satisfy gore hounds. If you go in looking for a scary, serious Zombie movie then this film isn't for you. If you want fun characters, great gore and enjoy British humour then you'll absolutely love it to bits. There's also four seasons of a YouTube web series (also called Zomblogalypse) to check out which the same creative team started making a decade earlier! Whilst the movie is kind of a retelling of the web series, it's still very much worth a watch and oozes with love for the zombie genre.
