Despite finding him good value on chat/panel shows,I have never had a "propah" Danny Dyer experience,due to almost all of his films looking.."dire." With October coming up,I decided to do a thread on IMDb's Horror board for Comedy Horror recs.Catching me by surprise,a fellow IMDber told me that they had seen a Dyer Horror Comedy that was actually good! Finding the movie at a local DVD shop for £1,I got set to go to Danny Dyer's doghouse.
The plot:
Wanting to escape their women troubles,mates Vince,Neil,Mikey,Graham,Patrick and Banksy decide to run off on a "lads weekend" to a village packed with pubs,and where women outnumber the men 4:1. Hiring a mini van,the guys travel to the town. Running to the pubs,the guys are shocked to find no staff behind the pub,and no girls in sight. Looking round the empty village,the guys find all the men laying on the floors dead. As they start to fear that their night out plans are over,a women appears,who turns out to be a murdering,man eating zombie.
View on the film:
Going for a night out with the lads to zombie town,the screenplay by Dan Schaffer makes the dialogue a perfect fit for the blokes,with their blue coloured humour capturing the banter of the guys,even as they are trying to outrun killer zombies. Travelling to the village in a jolly mood,Schaffer turns the jokes down to give the title an unexpected dark Horror side,spilling from some of the main characters meeting their dogs dinner,as Schaffer gradually builds the bond between the friends,with the zom-women getting their hands on the immaturity of the boys.
Taking on any man or zombie that challenges him ,Stephen Graham gives the movie a working class grit as Vince,as Graham smoothly hits Comedy pot-shots with Noel Clarke's wonderfully nervous Mikey,whilst making sure Vince hits the zombies with a ruthless punch for survival. Unknowingly going on the pull for a zombie girl,Danny Dyer gives a far better than ever expected performance (nice one guv!) as Neil,thanks to Dyer getting Neil to show concern for his pals,and also waking up Neil with wide-eyed fear,as the lads start to fear that they are going to meet their end in the doghouse.
