This got some pretty mediocre reviews on release but I actually really liked it. Not perfect, for sure, but 3.5 stars.
A great cast including Michael Sheen and of course Simon Pegg & Nick Frost whose film company made it. The film does remind me a lot of their SHAUN OF THE DEAD.
Filmed at Stowe School where posh director and co-writer Crispian Mills went (mum Hayley Mills, grand-dad Sir John Mills, and Crispian's father was on of the Boulting brothers, film directors). He later formed pop band Kula Shaker. Also filmed at Windsor Great Park and Chislehurst Caves.
Yes, silly in bits, but some fun lines, OTT monster horror - but why not? A good budget here. Watch CANARIES (Welsh low-budget film) to see how comedy horror can be done on a fraction of this budget.
3.5 stars rounded down.
