The better of the week's two zombie movies begins in Nigel Kneale fashion. A pair of hard-hats accidentally open a vault under an east London church that was sealed during the Great Plague in 1666 and release a force that rapidly spreads to create an implacable horde of flesh-eating monsters. Their appearance coincides with a threat to close a local old people's centre, the Bow Bells Care Home, run by the grandfather of three East End tearaways, who come to the aid of the grandfather – first by robbing a bank, then by battling against the zombies. It's a ragged film, indifferently acted, but not dislikable and occasionally quite amusing, as when West Ham zombies confront zombies from Millwall. The big attraction, however, comes from seeing the senior citizens recover the Churchillian spirit of the Blitz. They're led by Richard Briers clutching his walking frame, Dudley Sutton in a wheelchair and Honor Blackman supported by hip replacements, all gleefully wielding automatic weapons.
