Rec 2. "The Best Zombie Sequel Since Dawn of The Dead".

Not one single fucking zombie, and it was Spanish with sub-titles.

I wanted "proper" zombies for my £11.odd pence.

Am I within my rights to demand my money back?

Jeez i just stepped back into 2010

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has definitely got zombies in it, but it is a very crap re-working of the book, and the author seems to have decided they were inherently comic rather than, as chibi commented, very sad. Poor, poor Charlotte's condition is very sad, but callously skated over by Seth whatshisface.

I can't help thinking that the singular of 'zombies' should be 'zomby'.

But it looks very wrong.

Sorry you have been turned off television, but may I suggest turning on Z-Beebies for The Zombies of Wimbledon, shambling round....?

No FUCKING ZOMBIES-Heracles.

I have a Zombie plan, which I discuss alongside my DH (for real zombies). It provides entertaintainment and discussion.

They weren't fucking zombies.

I'd know a zombie if I saw them.

These weren't zombies; these were demonic people and Catholic.

I'm entirely sure that some of them have been at Church with me in the last year but have been quarentineed (shots on this film); (for demonic ugliness). They're harmless.

I have however a pubescent teenage girl (my DD).

I am fully anticipating that Her head will swivel anytime soon and she will spew vomit.

But all I wanted was a regular zombie.

ROLF at this thread Grin

Does zombies mean something else in Spanish perhaps? Cauliflower or binoculars or something innocuous? Perhaps that would explain the misunderstanding.

Anyway who still buys DVDs these days? Get herself on lovefilm.

Can't stand zombies, they get on my tits.

I haven't seen it, but I'm now reading a review which includes:

"This sequel, set mere minutes after the first film, again is set in a rundown apartment building whose residents have all mysteriously been transformed into bloodthirsty zombies that have a nasty habit of popping up unexpectedly."

and

"The all-too-familiar proceedings mostly comprise a series of gory surprise attacks by the zombies, though an effort is made to punch up the narrative via a priest (Jonathan Mellor) posing as a health ministry doctor who provides a cheesy, "Exorcist"-style demonic explanation for the events."

Are you sure there were no zombies...?

Cut to the chase.

It said Zombies on the packet

There were no Zombies.

When I purchased it, I expected Zombies.

AIBU to expect a refund?

"I at least expected the walking dead."

I waited in all day; they didn't call, didn't e-mail... Wink

I bought the film from Tesco's (those of the supperating willy parts).

I chose 3 DVD's on the basis that I have dreadful pain at the moment and would watch "crap" films all through the night to get me through it.
I'd surveyed SKY and it was crap also. Loads of Romcoms.

I am entirely irritated by adverts. Not least the increase in volume. So I bought DVD's.

If I buy a Zombie film, I have a right to Zombies.

I bought it on the basis that THERE WOULD BE ZOMBIES as it said so on the packet.

I didn't expect much sex; but I at least expected the walking dead.

Habbibu; I'm have sent a product request for
"OLD FASHIONED ZOMBIES THAT JUST BITE PEOPLE: NO MASTURBATION/SEXUAL INTERACTION REQ'D"

I'm so hoping that Waitrose can deliver; because I hate shopping.

Don't watch Troll 2 then. Not only is it not a sequel to Troll 1 it doesn't even have any trolls in it.

It is, however, hilariously awful.

Actually vinegartits.... the horrible truth is that Tesco DO make films now... not this zombie one but they are making this:

Habbibu · 10/10/2010 15:54

Tesco Do make films. And it's a funny thread, VT, I don't think she's actually serious.

Vinegartits · 10/10/2010 15:52

correct me if wrong but Tesco dont make films, so how can it be their fault, they dont have a fucking zombie section either and they didn't make it/or write the description on the packaging

if you are that peeved then get onto the producer and director, tell them they made a shite film

i would be the same as me complaining to MNHQ for allowing such shite threads, but its not their fault though is it?

Habbibu · 10/10/2010 15:46

"Not even Waitrose." Because that would be your first choice for zombie porn stockage, if such a thing existed?

The Non Zombies did not wear sombreros and there was no paella anywhere in the film.

There were no major cultural sterotypes (in my opinion); they were all Spanish people dealing with demons. It would have made it easier to watch if they could have introduced an Italian, an Hungarian...... and a Zombie; or paella.

"Habbibu" A single fucking Zombie.
That's a wanking Zombie.

You're just being silly; zombies don't do that; as soon as they saw it; they'd bite it off.

No-one stocks it. Not even Waitrose. Send in a "product request" for Zombie porn and one gets no-where.

That's because they don't breed, they just bite people.

You're quite right to be upset. I'd be devastated.

Were the non-zombies wearing sombreros and eating paella? Did they throw in a few cultural stereotypes while they were at it?

Weeping Cock is just my reaction to "cunting x y z".

I don't like my or other Womens' flowersome lady parts being referred to in anyway disparaging; and it also interferes with my sex life when I scream at crescendo" Oh Fuck my Mothercare harder"

So I have a weeping syphalitic cock instead.

Anyway; getting back to the matter in hand.

I paid good money for a zombie and didn't get a single fucking zombie.
