10 Awesome Films You've Probably Never Seen

If Shaun Of The Dead was a quaint British film that just happened to feature walking cadavers, Cockneys Vs Zombies is its East End cousin, the ruder, cruder and decidedly lewder relative that’s more interested in exploding heads than romantic sub-plots.

When the dead start to rise, Andy (Harry Treadaway) and Terry (Rasmus Hardiker) immediately fear for the safety of Ray (Alan Ford), the grandfather that raised them after their hippie parents unwisely took on police marksmen with assault rifles (long story). They decide to set off on a rescue mission, little realizing that Ray’s safely ensconced inside a retirement home with Richard Briers, Honor Blackman and a cache of assault rifles.

This is The Walking Dead scripted by Ricky Gervais, and your enjoyment will depend upon watching British TV veterans portraying octogenarian zombie killers (with walking frames and AK-47s). Gone are Shaun Of The Dead’s cricket bats and polite humour, and in come decapitations, raucous jokes, plus one-time Bionic Woman Michelle Ryan as a leather-clad, samurai sword-wielding locksmith (why not?). It’s not gentle or genteel, but it is loads of fun.
