Fantastic!  If you like zombies and want to laugh yer bellybutton off, go see it now.

...and to make this a true O'club post, I would also like to point out that this movie is a good study of Lazs' theory, as the Brit populous has to try and fight off zombies with *** all for guns.  I expect a report from you this week Lazs & Beet1e.  :D

-edit- sorry, the stars are sponsored today by the letters f, e, & k, which appear to be "on the list".  ;)

From the trailers it looked to be either really good or over the top stupid. Glad to hear it wasn't the latter.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

It's very good. Any Romero fan should see it.

Yup, it's dead good!  ;) (excuse the pun!)

Funniest film I've seen in years!  The scene with the 'drunk girl' in the back garden was classic.  Instead of your friend helping you, he goes and gets a camera to take photos! :)

Tarrantino reportedly said it's one of his favourite films!

Tonight's movie will be...   "Das Boot"

the cover showed a guy with a shovel and another with some kind of paddle and a determined look.   Might as well have shown em both holding their privates.

In the U.S.   you would see a little better zombie killing implements.  

in 28 days... another brit zombie film... the only people doing well  against the zombies were the army and the civilians when they finaly got a gun from the army guys.... threw it away like it was a snake...  talk about indoctrinated!

In 28 days there were no zombies.  Try again.
