    The worst film I ever almost watched!

    I too managed 10 minutes of this truly dreadful film. The rest I whizzed through on fast forward stopping here and there to marvel at the very un-special effects and the total absence of any acting ability. I feel my sister who bought the film for me was conned, the film was promoted - Best British independent film of blah, blah, the cover was impressive, looked very professional, it had good reviews from believable sounding sources which were obviously paid for (or faked). I think this is the first DVD I have ever thrown in the trash, other films I don't like I would usually try to find a home for with someone else who might appreciate them but I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy. The film was a total waste of money and the 20 minutes or so watching it. It couldn't even be recycled, so bad for the environment as well. Absolutely no redeeming qualities.

    Not surprisingly I haven't seen or heard of any of the actors (if you can call them that!) or the director doing anything else.

    Waste of your money

    Mmmmm... why do I keep doing this? Going to the video-store on Friday evening, and hoping to get my hands on a movie that's worthwhile. Surely this must be the worst movie I've seen in my entire life! I stopped the DVD after 10 minutes, as the complete lack of acting skills and story line was too much horror for me already. What a complete and utter waste of my energy and $4,50! I wouldn't watch this movie again, not even if they offered my a million to watch it! It's absolute 100% rubbish - go and make some real movies guys. We need some more talent in the movie industry, as I'm getting sick and tired of the stuff that's coming out right now.

    Well done for trying!

    Ambitious British sci-fi/action/horror that is clearly reaching far beyond it's meagre budget, but is spirited enough to pull it off.

    Tells the story of a future where society now lives in huge underground cities. A group of soldiers are sent to investigate activity on the long dead surface, but find something far worse than they expected.

    It shows what you can do with no money and a lot of creativity and maybe if the British film industry actually funded projects like this we'd stand a better chance of making some half-decent films.

    The actors may not be perfect, the special effects not as flashy as we're used to in films of the genre but it's got an infectious enthusiasm and a lot of heart so gets full marks for effort.

    Surpassed expectations

    I have to admit that I watched this with a presupposition, but the acting was note worthy and the script was awesome! I have yet been surprised by such a great flick since 28 days later. I know this is not the conventional zombie flick but you must give this movie a watch, as it will convince you to continue. Please take my word for this, I am very judgmental and to have my support is very difficult. I would hope that they would be noticed by the big rigs and given a honorable budget, they could definitely create a massive block buster, but I must tell you that the only thing I barely didn't like was the futuristic feel. Everyone knows the big money lies in the realistic styles, as for now, but that can change. They have the best possible script and the best possible actors, except for the guy who says "you have bla bla to set the bomb!" These guys can definitely create a blockbuster given the funds. I didn't think it was possible to deflect my bias about b-flicks, but this movie had me completely ignore the lack of budget as the story was complete and fulfilled all the unknowns to keep me addicted to the very last second! This movie is awesome and I can only hope to see more creativity like this from other films, but I have yet to see a movie surpass my expectations as this one did!

    Very Good Low Budget Zombie Movie.

    I love zombie films, as most readers already know.

    I was able to see this film over the Christmas Break while in the UK. This is the first feature film by a small film group from north Wales. The Film was made on an extremely low budget. This is a fact they cover very well.

    The story is set in the future after a virus has caused the surviving human race to live underground. The Survivors desperate to find a way back to the surface send teams up to try and find an antidote to the virus. This is where the fun begins.

    The films are extremely well made and I think the Directing is superb. The story is not a straight out Zombie movie but throws a few elements in bring this film away from traditional zombie movies.

    For such a low budget the zombie makeup is quite realistic and the special effects are extremely well done. I was quite surprised at how realistic some of the effects were.

    This is defiantly one of the best Zombie movies of 2005. Though it was over shadows by some big releases in this genre. I was glad to see a low budget movie that was able to give the likes of "Shaun of the dead" and "Land of the dead" a run for there money.

    I for one will pick this up on DVD if it is ever released in the US.
