Endorfun86-928-706119 I read a few reviews, some giving this movie a 4 Star review and then the there are the ones that gave this 10 stars with some @*%# about how others that gave this a low rating just didn't understand something about this movie. Well, this movie plain and simply gives proof that Britain should not be allowed to make, export or give advice when it comes to horror movies, and should only be allowed to make comedies.
hitchinlist I attended Grimmfest in Manchester with my brother for the very first time this year and saw this film early on the Sunday morning we were pretty tired but were ready to kick the day off with Twisted when we discovered it had been switched with this film instead, so we decided to give it a watch, Im glad we did, because it was the film we talked about the most on the drive home.I didn't know much about it apart from the fact it was a zombie anthology film and it was made by unknowns in the North of England. The film opened amazingly well and I was immediately drawn in, a young man in a secluded camp (which would not have been out of place in THE ROAD) scours the roads, picking up the now starved dead and burns them in his camp. On one of these repetitive trips he is confronted by a hagged and bloody man. This man (played by the director) utters a few words and collapses, the man is dragged into the camp, tied up, and his things are searched. Inside his pack is a book, and the book documents the stories. As the young survivor begins to read, we are then transported into each particular zombie tale. First of all the soundtrack was ace, and it reminded me of every great 80's horror film ever made, the production values and locations were very good, far beyond what you would get in a movie of this budget, you can tell the filmmakers were never lazy with their approach.I did have issues with acting on a whole, only the two leads in the framing story really convinced me , the rest of the cast seemed less experienced, some even looked uncomfortable in their roles, maybe having bitten off more than they could chew so to speak, also the mixture of accents at times was off putting, but thats down to personal preference! What amazed me most was after the film we attended the Q & A where the director, main actor and two crew members were told us it was made for around £15,000, it was a shock and put the film very high on my list of best of fest! I am an amateur filmmaker and watching something like this gives me a bigger push to get my own work out there and proves it can be done with dedication and hard work, so i suppose the film was pretty inspiring that way! If you are a fan of horror anthologies and especially zombie movies, this is definitely one of the best low budget zombie movies next to Before Dawn (which also screened at Grimmfest), it's originality alone is worth the look, let alone proof that things can be done with very very little! I hope to see more from these guys, they looked like they were just there to have fun at the Q & A and I think they have done a great job.
Catherine Fullen You know .. I was really eager to see this film, and when I started watching it I thought this film looks truly beautiful! It got me interested right from the start. The score sounded good and really added to the action. The plot kept you gripped and this isn't the usual 'zombie/monster' film, it is far more special than that. Even if you don't like horror films, watch this as this film is something different.The acting was good and especially the children stood out for me, they added to the story.Please make a point of seeing it, it will make you jump, feel moved at times and there were also some funny one liners. Brilliant!
kirstywatson Both the storyline and the technical work put into this film are excellent. Home grown talent within the North of the UK, the professionalism portrayed by the cast, crew and the directors shines through. Unlike many movies of this genre that I have seen, the special effects are very realistic. The storyline has your mind wondering and on the edge of your seat, with a brilliant twist at the end. This film keeps the audience in suspense and left me wanting more! I find that the fact the director (Damian Morter) both directs and stars in the film complimentary to the ethics of this movie. Both Husband and wife (Nicola Morter) have worked together on this and this can be seen, as despite the movie being about zombies, it has a very humanistic, thought provoking storyline. It is not just your stereo-typical all blood and gore zombie movie, but it actually touches the heart of the audience and would delve into the heart of even the most hardened of zombie movie addict.This movie appeals to both men and women, providing a good balance of SFX with a safe measure of a compassion of what a person would go through if they were to be in this type of situation.The acting from both the main actors and the rest of the cast is believable and consistent throughout the whole of the movie. Especially, the eeriness of the children in the film, who act their parts out very well. All round a brilliant movie a definite must see!
