Didn't work for me. Either that or my expectations were too high. I did hear about how this movie was supposed to be more of a comedy. Yup, it's true that the horror level wasn't quite there, but even the comedy was a little too slapstick for me.

In a world dominated by zombies, the last remaining survivors must find a way to continue their way of life. There's really not much to say about it, a typical zombie movie with the horror factor lowered injected with cheap humor. I didn't like the development of the storyline, it was pretty refreshing at the start, but after a while, the "rules" which the male protagonist went by to survive in a world infested with zombies dulled the movie with predictability.

Everything in the movie was just too "convenient" and made little sense. A decent movie to watch if you have a load of time on your hands and if you're rotting at home, or have lots of money to splurge catching it at a cinema near you... but ultimately not worth your time or money for the typical Singporean.
