I caught this gem last week and I'm still thinking about it. From the creators of one of my favorite horror films, Shaun of the Dead", this flick is as much funny as it is scary. Most of the actors are unknown UK kids and they freaking rock. I highly recommend this picture. Check it out and you won't regret it.
