This is a briskly-paced, fitfully amusing, luridly lad-magged British Zomcom with a terrifically titter-inducing twist. The noisome 'Mock-zom' action centring on an amusingly expletive prone group of disparate sitcom sardonic archetypes who find themselves on an increasingly boisterous, mishap-infected stag weekend in the country. Their elaborate Zombie-themed paintball escapades disturbingly take on a deliciously wrong-headed turn after these hapless, part-time paintballers accidentally kill one of the shambling, ill-painted, psychotically distempered faux-zombies for real, thereby hysterically helter-skeltering this bucolic, gag-infested, backwoods barmy B-Movie to a gallopingly grisly, suburban twits hit the fan, goo-flinging, Crossbow-swinging, fright-flocked finale! While 'Killer Weekend' is a somewhat derivative low-budget feature it nonetheless still proved to be an awesomeballs horror comedy, colourfully enlivened with some quality bants, zesty acting from a clearly game, 'give-it-a-go' cast, and, while, perhaps, not quite on par with blood-drenched Brit-Cult classics 'Severance', or 'Doghouse', it finally won me over with its rough-hewn charm, boundless enthusiasm, and splendidly splattery, far from stagnant silliness!
