The premise

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.

Horror Vault's take

When a deadbeat daydreamer uses his allotment shed as a refuge from responsibilities and a meddlesome neighbour, a flesh-eating apocalypse is the last thing he needs to deal with on top of everything else. Teaming up with his equally useless best mate, Trevor must decide whether his zombie-slaying fantasy alter-ego is worth anything in the real world. This gleefully low-budget British zom-com leans hard into crude humour, genre nostalgia, and gratuitous gore — bolstered by an impressive roster of horror legends in supporting roles.
