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?

I refer to the MN "Zombie Plan" thread.

I would also refer you to the fact that I'm a veggie and as such, being a Zombie would prove problematic for me.
I would also refer you to the fact that there are now university courses re zombies.

Vinegartits. Goods "not as advertised/described"
Not one single fucking zombie. Spanish or otherwise.

I always pick shite; but I want it to be accurately described shite.

The village of weeping cock is just short drive down a b road near nether wallop if I'm not mistaken

I dont get the weeping cock reference? There is surely not a place called weeping cock is there? Help me out here...

Vinegartits · 10/10/2010 14:08

YABU its not Tescos fault you picked a shite film

chibi · 10/10/2010 14:04

I mean they aren't scary in and of themselves

I suppose it is scary in an abstract see how we can be reduced to mere shambling insensate meat way

Zombie films leave me morose and unsettled not entertained

Zombies are indeed sad.
That's why they usually appear in Horror films and not, for example on "Antiques Roadshow" or "Britain's Next Top Model".

Having said that, they'd certainly be welcome on some other shows... "Come Dine with Me", "Celebrity Masterchef" et al would be much enhanced by zombies.

I have always thought there is something unbearably sad about zombies, I don't think I could manage a whole film without feeling too overwhelmed

Did it not mention it was subtitled on the box

Lol at weeping cock*

Yes right at the bottom in the same box as the Age rating.

It wasn't the Spanish that bothered me particularly; it was the lack of genuine zombies that pissed me off.

They weren't zombies; they were possessed by demons people, they only bit once, very quickly.

That IS NOT A ZOMBIE.

That is a POSSESSED BY DEMONS film.

Different genre entirely.
