Andy Van Scoyoc I picked up this film at a flea market, for a dollar and figured, for that price, I didn't have anything to lose. I wouldn't have paid "real" money to see it, but honestly...Not bad.Believe me...There's much worse out there and unfortunately, I think I've seen most of them. Just like any zombie film, some of it is stupid, some situations you'd look at and go, "what the.....? No one would do that..."But, all in all, not bad. David Frampton's performance was touching and helped bring a human element to some of the stupider and badly acted parts.Worth a watch...Could have ended better...Much better, but all in all...Pretty well done!
Headie Headster If it's so bad then why did i give it an average score?.... Hmmmmm!. The acting is just terrible and i am pretty sure i have seen more convincing performances on TV adverts. The script makes Eastenders look half way impressive (Impossible feat i know) and as for the special effects. Well, they wouldn't look out of place on Red Dwarf. Still, i had such a laugh watching this film that i can forgive just how awful it is. It's one of them very rare 1 or 10 star rated films depending on your mood kind've like sandsharks. Anyways, i did enjoy it (for all the wrong reasons) and it's full of just about every zombie cliché out there ripped from everything from the original Dead trilogy to 28 days/months later (The stalking zombie was a highlight <3 ). The reason it gets 5 stars is because as i said it's soooooo bad but so funny that it deserves 10 stars, but also so bad that it deserves nil. Much love to the director/writer we need more garbage like this. If for nothing else but to make us realise just how good Romero's original trilogy is. Clearly the reviewers that gave such steller reviews were cast/crew/friends etc. Still, it has to be said that it was a fun hour and half just picking out how bad everything was. As for the score..... Rarely do i notice a score in films, but this stood out like a sore thumb. A film for the true masochist :D
Karene Ambler I was fortunate enough to attend the premiere on 7th September and thoroughly enjoyed this film.    Three stories cleverly interlinking with each other which had me trying to guess how the story would unfold. I even started to build a rapport with some of the characters, albeit unlikely ones and was egging them on .. Naturally not going to give anything away now!   This film is deemed a low budget film, it sure doesn't give that impression to me as the editing and music were 1st class.  Various locations were used as well as a decent sized cast who clearly were giving it their all. The only negative aspect, which isn't really one is that I wanted it to be longer, I didn't want it to end.   Could there be a sequel? .. Yes please says me! ... You will not be disappointed, go see it!
Keiron Goodwin Before we start yes, I am an extra in the film but I'm trying my best to write this without being biased towards it, I'm also a fan of the zombie film genre too so... Having watched many low budget films lately in the zombie genre (and still working my way through them all as well) I went into the premiere of this movie expecting another mindless horde of zombies to rampage through the streets and countryside of the UK hell bent on devouring everyone in a small rag tag bunch of survivors (typically containing an old man, gun toting muscle bound hero and several big breasted women) but not in this movie, the director Damian Morter who also wrote and starred in the film did something a little different, the way the film is set out reminded me of a few older films the one that sticks in my mind the most is cats eye which has three stories that are based around a kind of main plot following a cat. Except obviously there's no cat in this film, the cat is replaced by an undertaker style figure traveling the countryside spreading the curse of the undead to all who cross his path which he chronicles in his book as you would. A young man then comes across a stranger in a forest who has this book and begins to read the tales within, these tales tell of the pain that three separate families suffer as part of this rising of the undead while the main plot surrounding the young man and the stranger unfold... Its different, not your ordinary zombie film, in my opinion its definitely worth a watch if you get a chance to visit a festival its showing at or if you get a chance to buy the DVD when its finally released. The camera work throughout is fantastic and doesn't again in my opinion betray the fact its a low budget film the crew, Damian and Nicola Morter, the make up artists, actors and extras at safehouse pictures have really outdone themselves (yes me included ;) ) bringing this film into being, lots of blood sweat and tears have gone into it. Definitely one to watch out for if your a fan of horror or zombies :)
