Yes, like Return of the Living Dead 3 it's another third installment in a zombie horror series that ups the romance quota 100%. What are the odds? Paco Plazas second sequel to the 2007 Spanish horror hit displeased some fans by ditching the found footage style of the first two films and introducing a more overt brand of humour, but proved to be one of the most enjoyable horror comedies of recent years and, yes, one of the most romantic. Running parallel to the events of the first , a zombie outbreak hits Barcelona at the same time that Clara (Leticia Dolera who, just for added sweetness, is the directors real-life wife) and Koldo (Diego Martin) are enjoying their fairy tale wedding. In the panic, the newlyweds are separated but neither of them is about to let any fiends from hell ruin their big day. All manner of limb-lopping delights ensue, reaching their pinnacle when Clara, still in her wedding dress, picks up a chainsaw to hack her way through the zombie hordes keeping her from her husband. Theres blood, theres laughs, theres tragedy, but theres also real tenderness on display.
