Haven't you always wanted to see a bunch of cranky, foul-mouthed octogenarians have it out with swarming hordes of the undead?

| Original Score: B | Jul 9, 2020

There's plenty of good Zombie-genre jokes in the script - for instance, the fact that an old person using a walker can outrun the slow-moving undead - plus LOTS of splatter.

This movie is laugh-out-loud funny. British comedy really lends itself to this genre as their dark sense of humour complements the monstrous situations.

| Oct 22, 2018

Despite the notable genre tropes, Hoene still manages to keep Cockneys vs Zombies fresh.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2018

Cockneys vs. Zombies doesn't offer much ingenuity in the zombie subgenre, but it's a rather enjoyable movie if you're looking for foul-mouthed, gun-toting octogenarians battling hordes of the undead with a caper twist thrown in for good measure.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2016

This frantic lark is a bit more clever and a lot more amiable than most of what passes for "zom-com" these days.

| Aug 26, 2015

Maybe it's me, but after all the bloated, clanging, FX-driven summer tent poles, I'm partial to a gentle genre horror comedy that has gooey guts - but doesn't throw the heart out with the steaming entrails.

This low-budget entry doesn't add much to the overpopulated recent roster of zombie flicks

| Aug 30, 2013

[Blu-ray Review] Director Matthias Hoene gives the derivative tale a refreshing wit to go along with the flit pacing and imaginative gore.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 20, 2013

A satisfying, enormously likable genre cocktail, Cockneys vs. Zombies not only delivers upon its title promise, but does so with wit and fleet-of-foot aplomb.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 7, 2013

Cockneys vs. Zombies quickly overcomes its dull-as-death titling and turns out to be the best zombie yuk-fest since Edgar Wright broke new, unhallowed ground with Shaun of the Dead nearly a decade ago.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 2, 2013

A great and hilarious zombie picture with plenty of in-jokes about zombie lore and the London culture.

| Aug 2, 2013

A horror-comedy hoot a la "Shaun of the Dead" but I actually enjoyed this one a little more. Matthias Hoene directs the knowing, very funny script with aplomb.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 2, 2013

You may protest that this is just a splattery feature-length sketch, and you'd be absolutely right. Why not have a laugh at this absurdly trite concept?

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 2, 2013

As subtle as its title, "Cockneys vs. Zombies" is mildly funny and easily likable.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 1, 2013

[Hoene] set out to make a funny, fast-moving gross-out zombie flick, nothing beyond that, and he has succeeded with style.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 1, 2013

The oldsters are feisty - a gun-totin' granny is played by Pussy Galore herself, "Goldfinger's" Honor Blackman - but the shtick's as flat as old ale.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 1, 2013

Technical proficiency notwithstanding, basic storytelling lapses doom Cockneys Vs. Zombies to the realm of the second-rate and sloppy, all the way to a finale so abrupt and inconclusive, it's as if the filmmakers grew weary of their own undead endeavor.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 1, 2013

An entertaining romp with nitwits and monsters, keeping to the essentials of makeshift warfare while preserving all the necessary funny business. All that's missing from the effort is a translator for American audiences.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 1, 2013

"Cockneys vs. Zombies" might as well be "Babies vs. Zombies" or "Cats vs. Zombies" - strictly for addicts who don't care where their undead fix comes from.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 31, 2013
