I love a good post apocalyptic zombie flick me, and for the first half of this movie this exactly what it is. A great mix of excellent camera work, interesting and tense London set pieces and even a bit of humour thrown in for good measure. But then we reach Manchester and it all goes down hill. It's as though the film was shot in a linear fashion and they ran out money halfway through. From wondering what's coming next you suddenly find yourself realising that you're going to be stuck in this final location. Everything becomes very Dr Who'ish and I mean that in a bad way. Hammy acting, crappy effects cliched characters and you begin to wonder where the film you had started watching disappeared to. Having said that it's worth a watch and if you prepare for disappointment towards the end then you may be pleasantly surprised...
