Wasteland

Sameer Seepersand gave a great performance, but Jessica Messenger was wooden and stilted. Their love story didn't really work and I was disappointed when she returned to him - Scott was a believable character and his angst and heartache was excellent to watch. I also enjoyed the action and thought it was performed well.

I think the film showed the selfishness of people even in an apocalyptic setting in a believable way, and the most satisfactory relationship in the whole movie was the friendship between Scott Miller and his CB buddy George - true camaraderie between two men in a similar situation who had never met.

Of course this ain't World War Z when it comes to special effects, locations and highly paid movie stars, but this low budget film actually ain't bad. It's at least convincing in making us believe in a post-apocalyptic world. I liked the atmosphere of the abandoned streets and houses. The acting isn't that great, but the main lead is charming enough to get us through the story. And you can see that the film was made with lots of love of the zombie genre. I think some people are too hard on productions like these. You can't compare them to The Walking Dead, Army of the Dead or even Shaun of the Dead. It was a good attempt at making an entertaining movie and I think the makers succeeded 6/10

OK i wanna begin by saying that i have seen a great deal of movies and one thing i have been thinking about is that there are a lot of movies that has a lot more money invested in them than this movie the wasteland. The more money invested in a movie does not in any way make the movie better most of the time. Now to my personal review of this movie. This is not your typically high end zombie movie with a lot of zombies and action. this movie is little slower than your average zombie flick but its still a good movie. From the beginning i wanted to continue to look and thats all i need. The movie has a pretty good story and i think the actors is doing a good job. T he music score is well done in my opinion. i would recommend this movie and i have seen a lot of movies and its nice with a movie that is little different from everything out there.

Bad imitation of I Am Legend. Wait. The warning thingy said this review is too short! So... well, it's a borng waste of your time, even when you can understand the British accents.

Wasteland is a post-apocalypse indie drama - soon to be released by Acort International. The central hero is Scott, who meets the love of his life, Beth in flash backs as he deals with the un-dead and loneliness. After some time, the two lead characters meet back up and then survival really starts.

With the rise of shows like The Walking Dead (2010 - present), zombie fans might want to check out this local horror/survival film shot in Derby, England. After watching the special features, it was interesting to see the break down of map shots and digital pallets to create a post- apocalypse world on a budget. I think that's what I appreciated most as well as the practical gore and zombie effects.

The film stars Shameer Seepersand, Jessica Messenger, Mark Drake (who appeared in Game of Thrones) and Rachel Benson.

Director, Tom Wadlow started of with shorts before shooting the feature and he had trained at Universal Studios and now runs Light Films, Ltd. with his wife.

Wasteland is written by local talent, Tommy Draper and Chris Newman helped edit and was Cinematographer. Music by Dave S Walker.
