The hairstyles of its stars, Tadanobu Asano with a gigantic afro and Sho Aikawa with a shiny bald head, pretty much sum up what you can expect from this film; over the top silliness. Full of almost intentionally bad special effects and more zombies than you can count, Tokyo Zombie is a spectacular addition to the zombie spoof genre. If you are expecting a gory horror film, you will be disappointed. It is much more of an offbeat comedy. Starting with the all too familiar zombie epidemic scenario, Tokyo Zombie adds some of its own really creative and wholly original ingredients to the mix, i.e. how electricity is produced in a post-apocalyptic world. If you liked Shaun of the Dead, you should also enjoy Tokyo Zombie. Just thinking about this film puts a smile on my face.
