Harold Gimble was the first man to be infected with Onset Rigors Disease and unliked everyone else, he hasn't become a zombie yet, unlike everyone else. He's just growing old, but inevitably, he's going to become one of the undead, unless a nurse helps him. Or the scientists trying cure after cure. Or, most probably, he's beaten to undeath by a gang of vigilante zombie killers.
This is a movie that really stands out in the zombie genre, using it to tell a story about how we treat the aging, how nationalism destroys the innocent and about the inevitability of death. The fact that it does this within a humorous zombie film is a major achievement, breathing some life into what has become a moribund collection of films.
Director, writer and editor Keith Wright hasn't made anything since this movie. Here's hoping that he's planning something else, because I ended up really enjoying this.
