BLACK MIRROR kinda good?
I finally watched DEAD SET over the last week. It's kind of good but overall not really that much point to it.
Considering the creator and the genre and the set-up there's surprisingly little
actual satire (TV fans are crazy, TV producers are arseholes, that's about it).
The whole BIG BROTHER thing isn't that relevant other than providing a reason to gather a bunch of wankers in one location, and the stuff that's happening outside the house if more interesting. Not sure why you'd set a show in a famously close-circuit camera-ed location and then do everything on handheld shaky cam. I would also have liked to see more done with the parallels between the diminishing cast of the typical horror movie and the diminishing housemates in the BIG BROTHER house.
Still great scene where a zombie sort of saunters round the corner before spotting the heroes and going all feral. How very fucking ENGLISH.
