     For my first movie review I choose a movie that changed the Zombie genre for ever and turning a small fan base into and International phenomenon.  Okay, well maybe this didn't do all of the work but it defiantly played a huge roll  in the whole ordeal.  Personally I was a Zombie fan way before it became main stream and I think that it is the single greatest genre of all times when it comes to movies.  So, as you progress through my blogs you will see a lot of reviews on Zombie flicks. 

     Basically this movie is about a slacker who realizes after a bad day that his life isn't really going anywhere.  And it just so happens that the day he decides to turn his life around the world comes crashing down around him.  He then has to fight his way through a zombie infested England with his slacker best friend to win back his girl friend and save his mum.  All the while dealing with his step father and his ex-girlfriend's flat mates constantly challenging his leadership. I won't get into to much detail in fear of ruining the movie for you but this really is a must see movie.  

     Like a paragraph and  a half ago I mentioned that this movie changed the the Zombie Genre forever and it is completely true.  This was one of the first black comedies that dealt with zombie movies and it opened the door for movies like Zombieland and Fido.  Also on top of that the movie is generally great without all of that other stuff.   It has romance, action, and as a whole has great comedic timing.

      On a scale from 1- 10 this movie is awesome and an undeniable 5 out 5 stars.  So as Halloween grows near and you are looking for that movie to watch with whoever, or in the case that your a loser by yourself, this is a great movie to sit down and enjoy for the first time or the twenty-fifth.

  Fun fact all of the news readers and television presenters are real people portraying themselves in this movie, though if your from America you probably won't recognize any of them.
