What critics compared Save Yourselves! to
A lot of the humor comes from their blissful ignorance of the fate of the world while they’re trying to stop themselves from looking online, and reminded me of the beginning of “Shaun of the Dead.”
If Simon Pegg wandering his neighborhood in a hung over daze, oblivious to the zombies and carnage, is your favorite Shaun Of The Dead sequence, here’s an extended remix of that basic idea, facilitating plenty of background gags even as millennial oversensitivity gets razzed up front.
There’s lots to enjoy in this inventive, clever film that plays like a screwball War of the Worlds filtered through Shaun of the Dead .
Save Yourselves! is a sci-fi horror comedy in the tradition of Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland.
