Apocalypse

A zombie movie is a zombie movie. But MAN! Such BAD ACTING!!!!

Surely even with a shoestring budget you can get better talent than these yokels!!!!

It's like they just YANKED OFF any passers by and held them at gunpoint to pose as actors!

You know what? SHOOT THE DIRECTOR and the PRODUCERS!

. Even the zombies can't save this film!!! HORRIBLE!!!!

.

In a coordinated attack, an unknown and unnamed faction releases a virus that reanimates the dead. This takes place primarily in the UK, but there are some scenes in various other countries. A news reporter for a major network is brought a video detailing how the virus came to be by one of her sources. Once streaming the video live is complete, she and her coworkers fight to survive in the new world.

This is a low budget movie and should be watched through that lens. If you are a fan of other British produces zombie movies like Shaun Of The Dead or the 28 movies, then do not try to go into this thinking there will be any similarities. They relied a bit too heavily on bad CGI, from fires to smoke to impact wounds to people being torn apart, there are very few practical effects here. The actors are not bad, though the gentleman that play the lead news anchor plays his part way over the top. This movie did keep me watching to the end and I enjoyed the fact that the ending was ambiguous as well.

Overall, I would say this is a decent enough entry into the genre, but there is nothing ground breaking or Earth shattering here.

I was a zombie extra in this film, Filmed near Dunchurch, UK. With thanks, a jeep exploding, Running across 1 field past barrels and all other obstacles into another field whilst being shot with blanks, then towards a helicopter where the actor runs into an flys off. Spent an entire day on the set with makeup and re doing the takes didn't finish until late. That entire scene is not even in this movie i'm completely shocked all that time on that day was all for nothing when they couldn't even be bothered to include it in the actual film.

Also the special effects in this film are shockingly bad considering the filming was done in 2014 and 2015. I was during the 2015 scenes as i still have photographs of the set on my instagram!

Do not worth. It will be a waste of your time!

I don't want to write a review,this offering really isn't worth it,but I'm compelled to warn people.This one is a real stinker from beginning to end.There is no character development and not a single likeable character in the movie,in fact I detested them all so much I was rooting for the zombies,the acting was just plain atrocious with the zombies being the best actors,cinematogrophy was very low grade and when effects are better in a syfy channel movie than they are in this offering you know you are in a bad place.Be afraid,very afraid,that someone will make you watch this trash.

In response to adam pikes review, i also was an extra in this and the scene he refers to was for a different movie.
