A small British village where nothing ever happens, really: Police
Sergeant Cooper (Tony Fadil), looking forward to retirement, shows rookie
Constable Brody (Elliot Cable) the ropes - which mainly means to not
always do things by the book and to not mix things up too much to disturb
the quiet country life. And then they find themselves with what must be
the most exciting situation happening in the area in years, a
groundkeeper, Bob (Mark Wingett), accusing two youngsters, Dan (Chris
Monk) and Katie (Sonera Angel) of trespassing, and now it's up to Cooper
and Brody to defuse the situation - but before they can do much, really,
they're under attack from alien-possessed zombies. Now all of them, plus
Ellen (Kit Pascoe), who just happens to work at the place, barricade
themselves inside the facility Bob is supposed to take care of, but it
soon becomes apparent their barricades won't be able to hold up the zombie
hordes for long, so they have to shoot their way out. Bad thing the
coppers are unarmed then, but good thing that Bob is an arms collector ...
but bad things he keeps his arms on the premises but outside their
hide-out. So if they want to survive, they have to go out there unarmed,
with only their wits to relie on ...
Now this is certainly not a film that tries to re-invent
zombie cinema - quite the contrary, it takes hints from everything from Night
of the Living Dead to Shaun
of the Dead, and doesn't even try to hide it, and that's probably
one of the reason this one's so much fun, it's unapologetic about its
sources, but infuses everything with irony and humour while moving along
at a brisk enough space to never allow for anything resembling boredom,
making this a rather fun genre ride for sure.
