Todo Mundo Quase Morto

Uma comédia de zombies com inglês britânico e uma moral agradavelmente corrupta - os dois personagens principais são preguiçosos e são «fixes». Eles, incluindo Kate Ashfield, são bem escolhidos e o ritmo acelerado do início do filme promete muito, mas o argumento acaba por ficar sem ideias e não sabe como continuar, roubando o que pode (repito, roubando - não parodiando - essa é a diferença). Na verdade, este filme nem sequer tem um enredo e tenta ser apenas uma divertida comédia de situação, onde não se trata do QUE, mas de COMO acontece num espaço de poucos metros quadrados. Mas, à exceção do já referido início, fiquei aborrecido durante a maioria do tempo e admirei a imaginação limitada do argumentista. (24/10/2004)

A romantic comedy... With zombies! Despite getting slower and less funny from half way through, before that it is so full of great scenes and snappy lines that you just can’t help enjoying yourself. The gang that created the Britcom Spaced doesn’t let themselves down even in this feature-length movie. Overall, any weaker moments during the movie are made up for by the final study into what happens to the average Joe zombie once the troubles are over... The poor dear. (22/11/2004)

The British sent the undead to the London suburbs and countered them with dry English humor mixed with the darkest elements. A simple plot, where the emphasis is placed more on the characters, "twists" into an exemplary zombie slaughter in the second half. The methods for their extermination are prepared and effective, so much so that you'll soon lose count of bloody splatters, shot heads, or pierced bodies. It's almost unbelievable that throughout the entire ninety minutes, the film managed to maintain the right comedic perspective. Even when the joke quality occasionally dips into awkwardness, there are always plenty of brighter moments that genuinely bring out the laughter. Perhaps only the final resolution of the situation is a bit too much "for effect," but even that cannot take away from the overall comfort and stylishness that reigns over the film. When collars and chains appeared at the very end, it all fell into place for me. (01/10/2005)

A parody that didn't work out. It doesn't offend, discourage, but it doesn't make you laugh either. Just a couple of jokes, a few references, and the rest of the running time is just a tired beating, which rather plagiarizes than mocks zombies over time. And this problematic genre offers us hundreds of subjects for jokes. (26/01/2006)

An unfunny, unimaginative and somewhat schizophrenic mix of comedy, parody and sometimes unexpectedly serious drama (the scene with the killing of the mother). The screenwriter didn't eat much funny porridge, so most of the scenes that look humorous or are "set up" for a funny punchline fizzle out. After that, even the superbly typecast actors and the fine looking zombies can't save the final impression. What I did like was the great ending and the creators' reference to the godfather of gore, Lucio Fulci, naming a pub after him. (03/10/2005)
