Plot

Filmed as a documentary by three different groups of people as England is being ravaged by zombies.

Pros

They did do a good job in keeping up the suspense and if you're looking for gore and willing to see it through a shaky camera, then you will not be disappointed. It does provide a good look at human nature and what people will do to survive when push comes to shove.

Cons

I looked at the DVD cover and thought I would be watching a first-person shooter with one bad ass going around and killing a bunch of zombies; boy was I disappointed. All I know is if I'm surrounded by zombies I want to be armed to the teeth like Rambo, not toting around a camcorder.

Recommendation

Another hand-held camera film; will this trend never end? At the 20 minute mark I wanted to turn this movie off; fortunately the movie is only 81 minutes long and there are a couple of interesting scenes to keep your attention. Die hard horror fans wanting to give this movie a try should rent it first.
