Is it out yet?

My local movie theatre has a poster advertising it but the girl I asked had not a clue as to when it was to start playing there.

Limited release started Sept. 24th, according to Yahoo, and it's playing at several theaters here in So. California. For members in the U.K., it's already available on DVD.

Good to hear, Zombie! Thanks for the info!

I'll keep my hopes high for seeing it here soon.

The movie did very well last weekend. Number 8 even though it was only playing in about 600 theaters. Apparently, it will be opening wider Oct. 8th.

It's playing here in the Twin Cities. I saw it last weekend and recommend it highly.

Will the UK DVDs work on US TVs?

It depends on your DVD player. If it plays "Region 2" DVD's, then yes it will work. If it doesn't, then it won't.

My SOTD DVD was actually a dupe of a british DVD. But still a nice transfer, and a very funny movie.

Saw it Friday night. Definitely worth seeing. Even my fiancee, who is no zombie/gore fan, really liked it.

It has it's moments where you're laughing out loud, drags in very few spots and has some impressive effects. All in all, an original and clever take on the funny side of a zombie plague. Yes, that is possible!
