CraigNewman1973

I'm so bloody disappointed it's untrue, I 'liked' Ben Wheatley (well kill list) but he's steadily fallen from grace. This is rubbish, terrible writing, terrible acting, forced DEI, rubbish effects, the whole gamut. As the title suggests, this reminds me of Hollyoaks with a bit of squirty blood. (Why do the 'zombies' -incredibly loose- just have their mouths constantly stained red when they haven't bloody eaten anything?) goto a Hay barn and light a fire in the middle of the place and scream food? It's just blinking daft, oh yeah, sorry, it's supposed to be a comedy? The are no funny bits, it's just dire... Give me 20 quid and I'm sure I could do better. Awful awful rubbish, what a waste of talent? What the hell were C4 thinking? What was Ben thinking? What were the cast thinking? What am I thinking?... Yeah that's right, I'm thinking this is dross of the highest order. Because I'm a masochist I'll watch it all (pray for me) only because there's sod all else on telly... Talk about end times...

The director of this homage is not only very skilled and in his direction, but music composition as well, Brilliant. Taking all que's from universal horror, expressionist cinema et al with dashes of humour (from said era's) make it a delight for anybody in the know. Good stuff, make more! (Longer) *Edit* Sorry, I guess I'll have to make up enough characters up in order to submit... Err? I thought I gushed enough about the film as it was? Tra lala... Was this always necessary? I'm sure on other reviews I kept it short and sweet? And I've still got 66 characters left! 27 now. 16. The film is great!

The was the second attempt at trying to watch this film as in all honesty I'd forgotten why I switched it off originally... And it was mainly down to one word, contrived. This sort of movie is usually up my street, but the try hard nature just put me off, over acting, implausibility, just everything screams 'me too'. It just amounts to flashy muddled direction, lazy script and tons of fake blood. A very Poor four.
