http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457572/ Starring: Billy Connolly, Carrie Anne Moss, Tim Nelson, and Dylan Baker Found this on a list of recent movies that not many people saw but should see. I had never even heard of it, and it was hilarious. It is sort of an American Shawn of the Dead in that it makes fun of zombie movies. I hate to make that comparison, but that's honestly the best I can do. Set in what appears to be the early 50s (although no certain time is mentioned that I saw) events cause the dead to rise as zombies and the Great Zombie War is fought (presumably instead of WWII) with the survivors living in safe zones with zombie slaves. Complete with old style news reel b&w clips from the "war". Good stuff and at the least a rent. I'll be buying it when I can find it. Pros: Billy Connolly does an amazing job as the zombie. Good acting from a solid cast. Good amount of blood and gore, but not Planet Terror levels. Cons: None that I can think of a few hours after a first watching. Guess they could have gone into some explanation of the source of zombification, but for this movie it isn't necessary. 5/5
