Okay, the acting is a little wooden towards the beginning, and okay, there&#8217;s a brief interlude after the initial outbreak during which both comedy and zombification are lacking, in favor of plain-jane stripping. But other than these things, there&#8217;s a lot more to like than you&#8217;d probably think.
