Leave your thoughts about Cockneys vs Zombies.
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovIt’s fun, gore-drenched, and even touching at times. All that’s missing from the toothy chaos and broad comedy on display here is Dame Judi Dench and the kickass title that could have been: "The Best Necrotic Mandible Hotel." |
| SFX MagazineSarah DobbsDelivers in every way a zombie movie should: it's fun, tense in all the right places, and very, very gory. |
| Projected FiguresAnton Bitelunearthing the old Blitz spirit as an antidote to bleak Tory-led times of social abandonment and exclusion, it is an affectionate mash-up of the undead and the East End's underworld, with a half-buried subtext about England's overlooked underclass. |
| What CultureShaun MunroA film far better than it has any right to be by title alone. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonA satisfying, enormously likable genre cocktail, Cockneys vs. Zombies not only delivers upon its title promise, but does so with wit and fleet-of-foot aplomb. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAs subtle as its title, Cockneys vs. Zombies is mildly funny and easily likable. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoI can't exactly call Cockneys vs Zombies an instant cult classic, but I'll absolutely call it a cult hit without hesitation. |
| Digital JournalSarah GopaulThis movie is laugh-out-loud funny. British comedy really lends itself to this genre as their dark sense of humour complements the monstrous situations. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellStereotype collides with cliché in Cockneys vs. Zombies, but the impact isn't as painful as you might imagine. |
| Village VoiceRob StaegerWeightless as a bag of crisps, this matinee fare offers more laughs than scares. Its longest-lasting contribution, however, might be the cheery earworm of a fight song that plays over the end credits, infectious as a zombie bite. |
