Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies - Needed more lederhosens

I read online that the film-makers behind 'Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies' were fans of the genre classic 'Shaun of the Dead.' Yes, I can see the influence, but they say 'imitation is a form of flattery' so I'll let it slide, as 'Lederhosens' is actually quite good fun.

It's not a long film and gets going pretty quickly.  I'll gloss over how exactly the undead rise as who cares?  The dead rise on a snowy Austrian mountain and those unfortunate enough to be stuck in a local bar have to fight for their lives.

In true 'Cornetto' style, this film doesn't take itself too seriously and there are plenty of one-liners in there, plus kind of meta quips about the whole 'zombie genre' in general.  You can tell everyone was enjoying themselves while making the film and it shows through.  Plus there's loads of 'proper' gore.  And, when I say 'proper' I mean practical effects over excessive computer usage.  The 'zombie kills' are - on the whole - pretty inventive and enjoyable to watch (if totally over-the-top, but then that's half the fun, isn't it?).

I guess the only 'negative' I found was in 'character motivation.' I don't expect much in terms of 'characters' when I'm watching a low budget horror B-movie, but I just felt that one minute a character could be slicing through zombies like they were butter, only to fall over and be totally overwhelmed by a single ghoul in the very next scene.  The reason?  Because the plot demanded it to happen.  This kind of left a bit of inconsistency in the action where the cast were as clever or as dumb as the script needed them to be at that moment in time.

There's nothing much here that you haven't seen before, so I don't know how 'long-lasting' this film's legacy will be, but, if you're a fan of 'comedy-horror' zombie films then you should enjoy it.

6/10 Should probably keep you awake if Freddy Krueger was haunting your nights
