Review of Zomboat!

Zomboat! (2019)
7/10
the "slow food" version of the zombie apocalypse
15 October 2019
An excellent start, a bit like Shaun of the Dead crossed with Zombieland, but with even dafter characters. It rapidly won me over, with lots of knowing in-jokes, especially between the sisters Jo and Kat. The boys haven't yet really jelled for me, but I hope they will. I loved one wide screen shot, held for nearly a minute, of the canal with converted warehouses behind, into which the narrow boat creeps from the left, incredibly slowly - the complete opposite of all those daft high speed car chases! Most importantly, the sisters are aware what a stupid idea it is to escape in a narrow boat, that travels barely faster than the zombies, but do it anyway!
