10 More Hidden Gem Zombie Movies You've Probably Never Seen

2. Cockneys Vs Zombies

Wyrmwood Road Of The Dead
Shout Factory

You should always approach any movie with 'vs' in the title with a truckload of scepticism and a very open mind if you're going to enjoy it. The quality of such movies can range from the really good (Freddy vs. Jason) to the astonishingly bad (Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever), thankfully Cockneys vs Zombies is in the upper echelons of this niche subgenre. Although that doesn't necessarily say a lot, the movie does exactly what it says on the tin with a grisly smile and a lot of bad taste laughs.

After a group of bank robbers finds themselves in the midst of a zombie outbreak in East End London, they must rush to the aid of their grandparents who are stuck fending for themselves in a retirement home, and escape the capital.

From a legendary roll call of homegrown actors (Honor Blackman, Richard Briers, Dudley Sutton) going to war with zombies, to Alan Ford swearing for Britain, to the appalling but humorous kicking of a zombie baby, everything you could ever want from a brash British zombie feature, Cockneys vs Zombies has it.
