A construction crew is doing a dig when two of the guys find a buried tomb. The date on the tomb is 1666. Scary stuff. A skeleton pops out and bites the duo. Fast forward a little bit, we meet two of the main characters, Terry and Andy. They're brothers, and career criminals. One is always running his mouth and getting the two of them in trouble. Soon, we meet their elderly grandfather. He's in a nursing home. The nursing home is going bankrupt and has to close. All of the residents will be shipped "North".
Later, we meet two friends of the brothers. Actually, one friend and one cousin. The friend is an army vet who has a metal plate in his head. He finds humor in smashing things like cars with his head. They hatch a plan to rob a bank to pay the Nursing Home's debts.
Flashback to the construction site, the two infected workers are now biting everyone in sight. The Zombie Apocalypse has begun! Back at the bank, the group takes two hostages.
Once outside the bank, the cops that were surrounding the bank are gone. They've been infected. From this point, the movie follows the group as they fight zombies and make their way to rescue their grandfather. During this time a few bad jokes were told. There was a baby zombie kicked, and a Soccer brawl between Undead fans of West Ham United F.C. and Millwall F.C. That was painful, and not at all funny. Somewhere along the way Mickey, the army vet gets bitten. After he turns, the group and the hostages attempt to shoot him in the head to kill him. But, the metal plate prevents that. You'll have to watch the film to find out how they kill him.
Later, the group reaches the nursing home and rescues all the residents. They decide to flee London pretty much the same way the survivors did in the Dawn Of The Dead remake. Grandfather gets swarmed at the end, and it looks like he's pretty much a goner. Then, he pulls out a gun that he clearly didn't have, and escapes.
The film wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good either. The zombies weren't scary. But, this was the beginning of the end. They didn't have time to rot. So, I'll over look that. The poor attempts at comedy, especially the soccer riot hurt this one. On a scale of 1 to 10, this one limps away with a 3.
