Serious Slapstick Zomedy from Thailand

'Sars Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis' would be a perfect candidate to show to a group of people drinking and ready for some fun. It is high energy, seriously slapstick and it's packed full of Zombies! They don't make you wait long for the action. The story isn't terribly important so build up is slim. A government official holds a press conference assuring the public that Bangkok is perfectly safe from the deadly mutated version of the Sars Virus currently rampaging Africa. Meanwhile, a girl gets kidnapped and we visit dad while he watches the video sent to him demanding a ransom. Then you're pretty much in the quarantined building where lot's and lot's of people become Zombies. If dealing with zombies isn't enough, there is also a giant snake wandering about swallowing people whole. The ending is ridiculous which even the characters acknowledge and actually have a good chuckle at the viewers expense. The wonderfully wacky gags, costumes and characters are as entertaining as the over the top situations they get plunked into. Had it been a little more liberal with the blood and gore I would have given this one a perfect score. It is funny, fast paced and is an absolute blast. Did I mention there are tons of zombies and a giant snake?! What more do you want?! Highly Recommended!
