Zombie Comedies…Everywhere?

So…Having written a zombie comedy, I decided to start searching for a few. I did find some books that plopped into my TBR pile…but in the meantime, went looking for DVDs to pop into the machine.

The three staples of my previous zombie viewing were (not surprisingly) Zombieland (what’s not to love?), Shaun of the Dead (the scenes before he clues in on what’s happening are classic), and my favorite, Fido - a less well-known Canadian flick done in glorious mid-century style where zombies have, through the use of electronic collars, been turned into the ultimate status-symbol in domestic service.

Last night’s entry was another fun film, a Bollywood ZomCom called Goa Goa Gone, which chronicles the adventures of two losers who go off to a Russian Mafia Rave party on a mysterious island and…wish they hadn’t.

It’s pretty formulaic…floundering young men, team up with beautiful female and tough-guy pseudo Russian. But the characters are likable, the script witty, and there’s something genuinely hilarious (IMHO) in listening to Indians drop in and out of English (mostly to make snarky asides).

The world needs more snarky asides. It was an evening well spent.
