If you go in expecting another zombie horror thriller, reset your expectations. It's not what I was expecting - and my expectations were blown away. This is one of the most poignant coming-of-age stories ever captured on film, with the added benefit of quick scares, gore, questions about the nature of relationships and society, and so much more. For zombie fans, this is more "The Last of Us" and less "The Walking Dead." It's a worthy homage to 28 Days Later but with a far more sophisticated storyline that deeply inspects the emotional and societal repercussions of (disease, war, plague, etc). This film will stay with me for a long time.

Brian Regan is a legend and his stand up alone is worth watching here. But the show format is somewhat contrived and feels forced and deliberate in some parts. The audience questions are interesting enough but appear pre-arranged and coming from super fans (like me). The "floor manager" is completely unnecessary and too obvious as a cue for segues to segments or banal reactions. A complete distraction. Can he not host this himself? In essence, great, original comedy delivered in poorly conceived concept that adds unneeded waste and insults the viewer's intelligence.
