About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a zombie comedy with sharp political jabs, messy gore, and hustler energy, like Shaun of the Dead; Not for you if you dislike slapstick, blood, or satire.
Pros: sharp Cuban satire; goofy zombie mayhem; memorable dark humor | Cons: gory moments; broad slapstick tone; intentionally absurd premise
