Rest (in peace) room zombies Directed by Christian James and with a runtime of 84 minutes, this 2013 British zombie comedy horror film mostly takes place in the stall of a women's toilet cubicle - hence the name "Stalled". It is fair to say that this is toilet humour as it is written by and…

Day of the Dead (1985) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
