Episode 352: Residence (2026)

It is actually surprising how many Australian zombie movies and shows we have seen thus far…

 We Bury the Dead | 6.5 
 Little Monsters | 6.5
 Wyrmwood: Apocalypse | 6.5 
 Cargo | 6 
 Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead | 6
 Undead | 5.5
 Neighbours versus Zombies | 5 
 Last Hope | 4
 Infini | 4
 Plague (2014) | 4 
 Me and My Mates Versus the Zombie Apocalypse | 3.5 
 Zombie Brigade  | 3 

Over 3% of our 376 zombie movies and shows are antipodean.

And so to Residence, an enigmatic hero, a speechless child, and a ragtag motley crew of arguably the most poorly written and annoying characters ever to grace the screen journey through a zombie filled apocalyptic landscape to seek refuge in a medieval fun park, whilst pursued by an unstoppable, deranged lunatic. 6.2/10 on IMDB which ridiculously high, and probably inflated by the cast and crew, or friends of the cast and crew, or idiots given a watch link who don't realise you can still be critical even when it's free. Where is you objectivity, man?

Anyone recognisable from the cast? Libby and Harold from Neighbours

The humour is idiotic. I don't think I can even describe it here as it requires me to stop swearing loudly in my head and think about it sensibly.  Is it as bad as me and my mates versus the zombie apocalypse? Or worse? It is definitely down there. You know when you fast forward you have the >> for twice the speed, the >>> and finally >>>>. Well I was wishing they had invested 5 speed >>>>> fast forwarding as this was utter shit.

KJ was horrible, the vacuum salesman was terrible, and the writer, director, and the king, Cyril… was about as funny as cancer. 

And then even when we get a semblance of a story with the diabetic girl's dad being the monster we have a weird serious ending.

3/10

This movie is so bad I am glad it had adverts, as at least then I had the chance of a minute of entertainment every quarter of an hour when the ad breaks came.

Would I watch it again? I would rather shit in my hands and clap
