Now I was unlucky enough to read some reviews on IMDB.com while looking up some info and they were a bit harsh in my opinion. Most "experts" down there were slating it like it was the worst zombiemovie ever made. Total nonsense!
Like the first one, it has it's flaws but it's a pretty decent effort.
We follow a group of military men and women, who after 99% of Brittain is infected, try to reach the coast to escape the island for mainland Europe.
This all is filmed by some military press guy with a handycam. A lot of it shown I thought was pretty exciting and made me wan't to see what's next. The random zombie encounters, other survivors who also are out for their blood made this an entertaining watch.
The acting is quite alright, the gore could be a bit more and the zombies are of the cheap kind but convincing enough. And there are lot's of them too.
Isn't there anything bad about this one? Yes there is and that's why I gave it a score of six instead of a seven.
A lot of things just don't make sense in the story and action scenes.
I mean why waste a hell of a lot of ammo when the zombies are so damn slow, you could do a sackrace to reach the other side.
One time in the dark, the zombies can't see the mainactors when almost standing nose to nose and the other time when it's even darker in a tunnel they can. The cameraguy seems to be bulletproof while filming. More than once he get's out of cover while the bullets are flying everywhere.
But most of the time, I was entertained and that's what it's all about.
