NEW film 28 Years Later follows the zombies from the original 2001 film meeting for the first time in almost three decades to discuss how they are all getting on.
Zombies who were part of the first movie have answered a post on their Facebook group and gathered in a motorway hotel outside Watford to reminisce about that time Cillian Murphy whacked them in the head with a baseball bat.
Reviewer Jordan Gardner said: “It’s a very different film from the first. Seeing zombies queue for an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet really draws out their humanity.
“We follow Derek, played by Jim Broadbent and who was a window installer before he got infected, meeting up with all the rest of the gang who overran that house in Deptford. laughing about all the energy they used to have for tearing the living limb from limb.
“‘God, remember when we used to run screaming after them,’ he says to his similarly middle-aged, overweight undead friends, ‘not giving a shit about their machine guns. Imagine that now! It’s a bother getting up after a nap.’
“It turns out none of them have really done anything with their crazed, feral afterlives, they’ve all settled into boring suburban deer-disembowelling routine, and Derek begins an affair with Connie even though they both know it can’t go anywhere.
“‘Don’t I deserve the chance to be happy?’ he says, jaw hanging off.”
