What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

Shaun is coasting along in life, working a dead-end job and hanging out with the same old deadbeat friend, Ed, at the grubby local pub. But after his girlfriend dumps him, his dreary existence gets a sudden sharp wake-up call as he is faced with a full blown zombie apocalypse on his London doorstep. Survival mode kicks in, and he and a ramshackle group of friends try and get themselves to safest place they know - the pub. This morbid comedy is an affectionate homage to the zombie genre, filled with ludicrous fight scenes, endearing characters and memorable one-liners.
