The young Londoner Sean is an ordinary person who has accomplished nothing. He lives with his friends Pete and Ed in a dilapidated and dirty house. One day, the city was occupied by a group of zombies, and the virus and panic spread rapidly throughout the city. Shaun dragged Ed, who was playing video games, to rescue his girlfriend and mother. When they joined together, they were surrounded by hordes of zombies. In the end, only Sean and Liz were left. When they were planning to fight with the zombies to die, their friends led the military and police to wipe out the zombies. The whole city returned to normal, and Sean resumed a peaceful and comfortable life.
The story is inspired by a set of scenes in the British drama "Space". The director Edgar White, screenwriter and starring actor Simon Page of "Space" came up with the idea of ​​making it into an independent zombie film and started to work together Write the script. The British humor and spoofs in the film may not be fully understood as a foreigner, but the naughty funny and scattered horror can be experienced by the audience.
The film starts from the daily life of small town residents, supermarkets, stations, etc., showing the boring life of people in modern society. Although they are not zombies in appearance, they are like walking corpses. After a series of bizarre encounters, everything returned to peace. Sean and the residents still lived as before. The difference was that his friend Ed, who continued to play the game of zombies in the basement warehouse, became a tether. It's just a zombie with chains. What a irony this is!
