Zomblogalypse (2022) is a British horror-comedy that offers a fresh, satirical take on the zombie apocalypse genre. Adapted from the cult web series of the same name, the film follows three unlikely survivors—Hannah, Tony, and Miles—who document their daily struggles in a world overrun by the undead. Instead of focusing on typical action-packed survival tropes, the story leans into dark humor and absurdity, exploring how the trio navigates mundane yet hilarious challenges, such as dwindling supplies, existential boredom, and the ethics of zombie filmmaking. The film cleverly balances comedy and horror, using witty dialogue, inventive cinematography, and a self-aware narrative to parody both traditional zombie films and the rise of social media culture.
Beyond its comedic elements, Zomblogalypse also serves as a commentary on human resilience and adaptation in the face of catastrophe. The film’s mockumentary style gives it a raw, immersive feel, making the characters’ experiences relatable despite the absurd premise. Directors Hannah Bungard, Miles Watts, and Tony Hipwell bring a unique indie charm to the film, combining practical effects with creative storytelling. The chemistry between the lead actors enhances the humor, while the film’s unpredictable plot keeps audiences engaged. With its mix of satire, gore, and genuine heart, Zomblogalypse stands out as a refreshing addition to the zombie genre, proving that even in the apocalypse, there’s room for laughter.
