Despite looking, sounding and acting like a postscript to Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s Cornetto Trilogy (Pegg and Frost are even in the cast!), it is not.
But this tale of a nightmare unleashed when a sinkhole caused by fracking leads ‘straight to hell’ does for posh British schools what Pegg and Simon did for zombies, renegade cops and pub crawls.
No American release date as yet.
