Saw it tonight. I thought it was a really good concept and there were some interesting points to it (don't want to give away spoilers) but the script got a bit hokey in points, could have been tighter and just a touch more comic relief would have been nice as it got a little stiff. Worth a watch I'd say. |

Definitely not a comedy, more a horror drama. |

"Anyone else seen this?
It's a new(ish) zombie film but British made and similar in style to '28 days later'.
If so, what did you think?
any good ?"
I thought so, it's a very British film. It keeps the number of characters low to go into more depth than your average American film. The story develops at a nice pace, there's a new bit of critical information every 15 minutes or so. It's clearly telling a story rather than lots of nonstop blood and shooting.
A good film in my opinion. Above average. |

"I've just seen a snippet of a trailer for it. I like a zombie film but I'm a bit of a scaredy cat. How scary is it? "
Not very. As another member said, it's more a 'horror drama'. |

It's got 7.2 on IMDB which is respectable. Apparently it's budget was just £4m which makes it all the more impressive. Consider the wank that they churned out with $144m for Ghostbusters 2016. |

I prefer those types of zombie apocalypse films. More about how people cope and survive than being torn to pieces. |

I've read the book which is excellent. So good that it was my most lent book over the last couple of years.
Great story and characters. I hope the film does it justice. |

I think it does, although I haven't read the book. It's refreshing to see a clear film that isn't over subscribed with too many characters or too many sub-plots, one that tells a story without over-reliance on special effects. |

We saw the trailer a few nights ago, Mrs loves zombie / apocalypse books & films so might have to take her to see this one. Sounds worth a watch from the comments so far. |

We saw a trailer for "ouija" last night which is the epitome of the crap that puts us off modern horror films. Basically you can tell that the writers thought of a bunch of special effects first, then scratched their head for a story that would tediously link them together.
That's why this film was refreshing because it had a clear story that developed. |
