This popped up in my Netflix suggetsions the other night and had heard
much about it, so decided to give it a go.

London and the South-East has been quarantined due to a zombie
apocalypse. The military are planning on bombing the place flat to
contain the outbreak, but first they need to extract a person who might
have a potential cure for the zombie virus.

So, in goes this elite special unit of soldiers, trying to locate this
doctor and get him out before the air-force destroy everything. But when
it looks like their mission might be over, we discover everything is not
as it seems.

For what they did on what was obviously a very low budget was extremely impressive. The soldiers actually looked like proper soldiers (apart
from the beards), they even managed to get hold of some military
vehicles for them to drive round in and was extremely impressed with the
scenes of them wandering round the deserted city streets (no mean feat
in an indie film).

But obviously suffers terribly from the usual low budget trappings, bad
acting, unconvincing gore and some terrible plot holes which I can't
really go into without spoiling the plot. Plus the infected/zombies in
this don't seem to know if they're supposed to be the slow shuffling
Romero Zombies, fast running infected from 28 Days Later, or some sort
of mutant like the ones from Omega Man.

Indeed, seemed to borrow a lot of ideas from Doomsday and 28 Weeks Later
(make of that what you will) and I think a festival crowd would have
been laughing hysterically at this and not for the right reasons.

Worth a watch if you like low budget zombie films, but clocking in at
around 2 hours could really have done with being about half hour shorter
to tighten the pace up.
