Kenny_Tha_Killa After watching some inadequate horror movies over the past couple of days, this was exactly what I needed - a gory, bloody zombie flick with all the trimmings. Devil's Playground takes place in London where a pharmaceutical company announces that they have stumbled across a new wonder drug that they describe as a legal "performance enhancer" (super steroids) which actually (to the embarrassment of the drug company) turns out to be a poisonous cocktail that kicks off a zombie outbreak which quickly sweeps through the UK.We follow a group of people as they try to survive by finding an area somewhere in London that is zombie-free. Now, there's a plot twist that's pretty much a blatant ripoff of 28 Weeks Later, but I chose to look past it because the character development was adequate and the storyline bumped along at an even pace.Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the zombies. Devil's playground follows in the new tradition of showcasing athletic zombies that have the same speed and the same appetite as Mike Tyson. Yes, the zombies you know and love from the Dawn Of The Dead remake and 28 Days & Weeks Later are back to hunt people down like a pack of bloodthirsty dobermans that haven't been fed for weeks.The movie doesn't quite live up to the standards of Dawn Of The Dead and 28 Days & Weeks Later, but it's well worth the time if you're in the mood for a zombie flick and haven't filled your blood and gore quota for the month. Two thumbs up, horror fans.

Kevin Haddow Oh dear oh dear. Yet another low budget zombie type movie that fails to hit any kind of spot.Danny Dyer can be likable enough in some films, but he always plays the same part, no matter what the movie, and in this that trend continues. Unfortunately his limited talent and acting abilities shine through here more than in many of his other films. In fact, the only person who is more wooden and a worse actor is Craig Farbrass, a very poor man's Jason Statham. The director and screenwriter have nicked bits from other films, most noticeably 28 Days Later with fast moving and agile baddies. But this film has none of the style or substance of 28 Days Later. None of the characters are in any way likable, in the end you just do not care one iota if everyone dies, in fact, you end up wishing they would all be killed just so the dross can end.If you want to see how good a low budget Zombie type horror can be, rent the French film La Horde instead.

kosmasp It's not a bad thing to steal from successful franchises. Resident Evil the Game (and the movies of course) got their idea from a few movies themselves. But the problem is, you have to have something endearing or something that the viewer will want to see. And it does not count if you check a list. Those things really have to be in the movie, instead of just putting them in there.The main actors, I've seen him this year in "Dead Cert" too, has not enough of screen presence to hold the movie. Danny Dyer does his "schtick" (I'm starting to understand why some people do dislike him, though I wouldn't go that far ... it's a shame though, that he seems to just do it for the money ... it looks and feels like it certainly). Overall not a bad movie, but also not really good. Can be enjoyed with some mates ...

seeksSilence If Danny Dyer was hoping this film would improve his star-rating then he's surely mistaken. This film is dyer(dire) sorry couldn't resist.I love a good zombie-flick, but this isn't it. Bad direction, bad storyline, bad acting even worse script. There are no redeeming features to this boring, slow, limited action movie. Best avoid it if you can, be warned Danny Dyer's cockney scowl doesn't an actor make. When are film makers going to realize this guy is useless, and doesn't warrant the attention given to him.Walk away, don't waste your time - painting your garden fence and watching it dry would be more entertaining than this drivel.
