mrssshhh. I am definitely in the "Yay" camp here. It starts as comedy, but there's a slow - almost imperceptible - descent into horror. It treats the classic slow-moving movie zombie very well - one by itself is harmless, farcical even. But a whole crowd of them, implacable, relentless, unstoppable... that's life-threatening. And when it's people you know, shambling around wearing their faces and trying to devour you...
Saw most of the twists coming, but the end was still funny, if disturbing.
( Minor Spoilers )
Not all of them are terribly versatile actors - most of them are playing their characters from Spaced, though Jessica Stevenson's brief appearances are reasonably distinct from Daisy - but it's still an engaging performance and a lot of fun.
