Dennis Carrier I gave this a chance but after the third episode I was tired of it. I realized that I didn't like or identify with any of the characters. The ones that were incredibly stupid became simply annoying. In the face of horror, much of the dialogue was off-base. They're having nonsensical chats in the middle of hell. In other words, they're not focused completely on their predicament. At least it doesn't show in their attitudes and behaviors. But what was most annoying about it was the constant arguing about everything. Arguing before the apocalypse gets started, arguing as it gets started, arguing constantly as it continues. That's unrealistic. People would be too scared to argue so much in such a predicament. Or do all British people argue constantly and cuss at each other? The British accents and slang left me at odds, also. If you like your characters cussing and yelling at each other and constantly arguing in British accents, then this is the show for you. Me, I'm to watch a movie now where the characters are not so surly and stupid.
hellornola If you're a fan of zombies, this movie, above all others, is for you. Don't even bother reading the rest of this review. Go watch it now.The concept of using a Big Brother setting was a brilliant idea and worked very well. Whether you loved or hated the characters, they were unique and set apart in their personalities, and the acting was fantastic and believable.One of the most amazing things about this was the special effects. I've never seen such realistic movie gore; it's definitely not for the sensitive, because they is a lot of blood, guts, and brains in this movie. The zombies were well-made, too. The makeup and acting was far from any cliché zombie you might've seen before.This was simply wonderful, a movie any true horror fan will love. You won't regret seeing it over and over again.
kosmasp Or how about "Big Dead Brother is eating you"? There are quite a few lines you can come up with, with a premise like that. And for a TV show it is pretty graphic in its depiction of violence and blood (not for the squeamish then). The premise is more than nice, actually intriguing. The fact the undead are running might put you off (depending on your liking, I do like the slow ones myself), but give it a try, it's not that long (just over 2 hours).While effects and make-up are great, you couldn't do it without the acting talent. Andy Nyman is on great form as the main "human" villain in this piece. Of course, as he also states in interviews in the bonus material, his character doesn't see himself as the bad guy. And some might like him the best. He definitely stirs things up. Decent and good effort then.
Good-Will This preposterous piece of rubbish full of cardboard cutout characters should be banished to the bin which served as a toilet in the series.I'm a big Brooker fan but this series left me wondering what on earth compelled him to write such trite, glib characters and then try and shoehorn them into a zombie plot.Maybe it was his way of practising for "Black Mirror", which was far superior to this tripe.There's no excuse for all of the characters in the film doing what they do and the way that they do it, and my suspension of disbelief ran out when nobody ever mentioned the word "Zombie" or ever mentioned having seen a zombie film.As for "multi-layered social criticism" then an episode of Top Cat has more of that than this mish-mash of pseudo intellectual claptrap.My friend who recommended this to me will be severely punished when we next meet.Cheers, Will
