Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Jeremy Aspinall

Firmly in the tradition of Shaun of the Dead but with a dash of School of Rock, this joyously irreverent horror comedy bursts with barbs, gags and gore galore. Our "hero" is Dave (Alexander England), a sarky, slacker man-boy with rock-star delusions, who ends up crashing on his sister's sofa after blowing his relationship. While hanging out with her 5-year-old son Felix (Diesel La Torraca, precocious but charming), Dave falls for the boy's ukulele-playing kindergarten teacher Miss Caroline (a delightful Lupita Nyong'o, showing impressive comedy chops) and volunteers to help out on a trip to a petting zoo. Unfortunately, it's situated right next to a military base in the throes of a zombie outbreak, plunging Dave, Caroline, her cute charges and vile kids' TV presenter Teddy McGiggle (Josh Gad) into literal Hunger Games territory as they are pursued by a horde of shambling flesh-munchers. There's plenty of tension and carnage - meek Miss Caroline transforming into a shovel-wielding devil in a yellow dress is a blood-spattered highlight - but director Abe Forsythe's third feature is essentially a hilarious, off-the-hook ride with a sweet centre. Where else would Taylor Swift, Neil Diamond and Hanson be so crucial to enjoying a movie?
