Ok, Europe, can we have a quiet word please?

….

All right, I think we’re alone. Look; what is wrong with you people precisely? At first it seemed like a fluke here and there, a movie like ’28 Days Later’ would come out, or ‘Shaun of the Dead’, that sort of thing. We were inclined to overlook it, especially since Simon Pegg is such a sad, gushing fanboy of George Romero’s work.

In the last year or two, however, your behavior is really starting to concern those of us across the Atlantic. You’ve started churning out Anti-Zombie film trash like ‘Cabine of the Dead‘ (from France), ‘Zone 261′ (from Sweden) and ‘Toxic Lullaby‘ (from Germany).

Now we have news of a new Anti-Zombie comedy from the Netherlands called ‘Shouf Shouf Zombibi!’ and really, it’s time you had an intervention:

What we’re talking about here is Shouf Shouf Zombibi, Erwin van den Eshof and Martijn Smits’ new zombie comedy from the Netherlands starring Achmed Akkabi, Mimoun Ouled Radi, and Yes-R.

“The bizarre story takes place in Amsterdam-West, where a virus turns people into bloodthirsty zombies. Although much blood is flowing and many limbs chopped off, there is a lot to laugh at in this bizarre horror comedy.”

Seriously, anyone who views this trailer would have to conclude that you’re not a well Continent:

Elder abuse, graphic violence, characters who seem to live their lives in a pathetic shadow world of pop-culture movie references? Is this what you’re reduced to as a land-mass now? Europe once gave us the Renaissance and the Enlightenment but now it seems that European entertainment has been reduced to cravenly imitating American Anti-Zombie prejudice.

For shame, once-great geographic entity. I guess if you really want to, you can keep up this behavior. Maybe we can pencil you in as the 51st state and make it official.

Or, alternately, you could do something innovative, original and Zombie Friendly, striking a blow for Zombie Rights worldwide.

You know, if you’re not too busy trying to fit in with Hollywood’s big Anti-Zombie kick.
