Why so much hype?

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I have to admit that I watched this with a presupposition, but the acting was note worthy and the script was awesome! I have yet been surprised by such a great flick since 28 days later. I know this is not the conventional zombie flick but you must give this movie a watch, as it will convince you to continue. Please take my word for this, I am very judgmental and to have my support is very difficult. I would hope that they would be noticed by the big rigs and given a honorable budget, they could definitely create a massive block buster, but I must tell you that the only thing I barely didn't like was the futuristic feel. Everyone knows the big money lies in the realistic styles, as for now, but that can change. They have the best possible script and the best possible actors, except for the guy who says "you have bla bla to set the bomb!" These guys can definitely create a blockbuster given the funds. I didn't think it was possible to deflect my bias about b-flicks, but this movie had me completely ignore the lack of budget as the story was complete and fulfilled all the unknowns to keep me addicted to the very last second! This movie is awesome and I can only hope to see more creativity like this from other films, but I have yet to see a movie surpass my expectations as this one did!

Ambitious British sci-fi/action/horror that is clearly reaching far beyond it's meagre budget, but is spirited enough to pull it off.Tells the story of a future where society now lives in huge underground cities. A group of soldiers are sent to investigate activity on the long dead surface, but find something far worse than they expected. It shows what you can do with no money and a lot of creativity and maybe if the British film industry actually funded projects like this we'd stand a better chance of making some half-decent films.The actors may not be perfect, the special effects not as flashy as we're used to in films of the genre but it's got an infectious enthusiasm and a lot of heart so gets full marks for effort.

Well if you can get past the bad, flashy computer game visuals, the backyard style fight scenes, actors with little or no guidance, having to deliver a script that sucks then this isn't the worst zombie movie you'll have ever seen.Well that might be a little harsh, despite all those draw backs its probably not the worst zombie movie ever, but its pretty darn bad.I watched the first 15 mins then flashed through to the middle hoping for a change in effects/better script, no luck and it continued in badness right to the end.I wouldn't waste your time with this one, especially if you haven't see land of the dead, 28 days later, or sean of the dead all classic successful zombie movies to me.Cya l8a

I love zombie films, as most readers already know.I was able to see this film over the Christmas Break while in the UK. This is the first feature film by a small film group from north Wales. The Film was made on an extremely low budget. This is a fact they cover very well.The story is set in the future after a virus has caused the surviving human race to live underground. The Survivors desperate to find a way back to the surface send teams up to try and find an antidote to the virus. This is where the fun begins.The films are extremely well made and I think the Directing is superb. The story is not a straight out Zombie movie but throws a few elements in bring this film away from traditional zombie movies.For such a low budget the zombie makeup is quite realistic and the special effects are extremely well done. I was quite surprised at how realistic some of the effects were.This is defiantly one of the best Zombie movies of 2005. Though it was over shadows by some big releases in this genre. I was glad to see a low budget movie that was able to give the likes of "Shaun of the dead" and "Land of the dead" a run for there money.I for one will pick this up on DVD if it is ever released in the US.
