Danger! 50,000 Zombies! (2004) User Reviews

Run slow and talk low... or is it run low and talk slow

This is a short video by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. It is an instructional video where Dr. Russel Fell (Pegg) tells Nick Frost how to avoid a zombie attack from where to hide and how to kill a zombie. They also have a few a real zombies released in the wild so they can learn how to kill them

This puts a very comedic spin on the concept of zombies and is very enjoyable for the whole family! It just shows that even though Pegg and Frost were not household names before Shaun of the Dead, they were still very good at making films! This movie is just more proof of why Nick Frost and Simon Pegg are comic geniuses!

Not very funny mockumentary

The title "Danger! 50,000 Zombies!" already says it. This little movie is a fake documentary telling us what to do and how to act in case of a zombie outbreak. Frost and Pegg made this one together and they are pretty well-known, even more so in their home, the United Kingdom, I guess. But their work here does not motivate me to take a dive into their bodies of work as most of the jokes felt really so much intended to be funny, but did not deliver at all. Try-hard is always bad. Sadly, most of the slightly under 30 minutes the duo just talk to each other and it seems fairly lackluster and the comedy is nothing what we have seen in other programs already. The best parts are certainly when we see the actual zombies. Oh well.. this was already made back in 2004, so over 10 years ago. Maybe it was funny back then, but by today's standards I feel it hasn't aged well at all. Not recommended.
