This movie has been out in Britain for several months but I just saw an advert saying it’ll be released in the states in September.

I saw the trailer last week, it looks to be really funny as well as maybe scary? I think it hits the US this fall in limited release?

It’s not scary, but it is funny. Much better than Dawn Of The Dead. 🙂

Which Dawn? I love them both to death though, so it don’t matter which one really.

guys, are you serious?!? i’m really saying this without overreacting: this really must be one of the worst (and i really mean worst) movies i’ve ever seen!!! i really can’t understand you find this one better than dawn of the dead. the humor (or at least what was meant as humor) really s_cks, the characters s_ck, imo it gets a 1/10, just for the effort they did for writing the script :S

It’s a very English take on it, with British humour. So probably not everyone’s cup of tea.

I think you got that flipped around. But heck I liked 28 days later anyway.

Well I thought it was scary, ahem 😊 helps if you’ve seen and liked a brit-com called Spaced, but thats unlikely to be helpful to anyone stateside

I loved 28 days later and dawn of the dead, though 28 days was a far better flick. I acn’t wait till this one comes out now, but I am sure I’ll wait to see it on PPV, like I do with most. :pleased:
