With the exception of one short film, this
festival has suffered from an extreme lack of zombies. I rectified the situation in a midnight screening of...
Cockneys vs. Zombies.
Alan Ford (Brick Top from Snatch) owns this film as the grandfather, a WWII veteran and general badass. And there are a few new tricks to a zombie film - zombies chasing a guy with a walker, a zombie with an iron plate in his head - but overall it's pretty run-of-the-mill except for Ford's performance. The planner for the festival who introduced the film said that every third film they screened was a zombie flick, and every third film they saw sucked. I can see this as the best of a lot of dredge, sure, but overall the genre is getting spent.
