Comedy Horror

Trevor is 'between jobs'. He spends his days avoiding his nagging heifer of a wife by hiding out in his allotment shed and painting figurines for his wargames with his agoraphobic friend, Graham, and dreaming of his heroic alter-ego, the battle mage Casimir the Destroyer. When Mr Parsons, one of the other allotment tenants, petitions to have Trevor removed from his disgrace of a plot (he's not there to grow stuff!) an argument ensues that leaves Trevor with a corpse to hide. Unfortunately, this untimely accident coincides with the zombie apocalypse and Mr Parsons' return is just the beginnings of Trevor's problems. More pressing is whether or not he should try and save his wife and her beautiful best friend, who both he and Graham have a thing for.

There is exactly one reason that I watched Shed of the Dead, and that's the supporting cast (I guess you could make the argument that that's like... 4 reasons, because there's 4 different people I was interested in seeing, but if there had only been one of them, I still wouldn't have bothered, so I'm counting it as 1). Now that I've seen the movie, I know there was nothing else it secretly had going for it I was missing either. And catching a couple of minutes of some horror greats and that one chav sheila from Misfits on screen did not come close to making up for what I just had to watch.

Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
