"George A. Romero meets Douglas Sirk" is how one clever colleague of mine describes Andrew Currie's amusing tale of consumerism, conformity, and carnage. Picture Leave It to Beaver, only all the houses contain domesticated zombie servants, and you're halfway to grasping this movie's unique brand of lunacy. A handful of solid actors like Carrie-Anne Moss, Dylan Baker, Henry Czerny, and Tim Blake Nelson keep the premise from getting too silly... and you'll never look at Scotsman Billy Connolly quite the same way again.
