Slow start, I just wanna see some zombies.

Pigeon_Killer · 27 Oct 2008 at 22:16

Have to say I think it's really good. They're using the best of the visual style of the genre imo (modern zombie flicks). Low lighting (love how none of the office space rooms have lights on ;P), bit grainy, no shaky cam yet, but no doubt it will all be ruined by a jittery screen. No strobe editing, and a good intro to the story

. It's very filmic!.

I don't think it's that great, the BB house seems like a good idea, but it's just not scary and a bit corny IMO.

Maybe it will grow on me.

It's ok, but it's all about the girls dancing in the Ministry of Sound Annual advert

Chick in the boob tube is smo-hoking!

It's not supposed to be scary...

It's a 5 part series lol, and it looks like a film. It will progress, have a beginning, middle and end. So see it through, it#ll be ace, the Brooker is a fantastic dude. I have faith.

benneh · 27 Oct 2008 at 22:44

Poo, I spoke too soon, shakey cam is in full effect.

d3moliti0n · 27 Oct 2008 at 22:45

I've been spoiled with too many fantastic zombie movies, so this is crap in effect.

krooton · 27 Oct 2008 at 22:49

It's still better than most UK made shows

krooton · 27 Oct 2008 at 22:58

Wheelchair zombie, lol!

JIM_BOB7813 · 27 Oct 2008 at 23:05

I gave it a chance, and it sucked.

d3moliti0n · 27 Oct 2008 at 23:06

Yup, crapola.

Stringy · 27 Oct 2008 at 23:06

I still found it enjoyable, seem to be capturing all the spackers you get on a series of Big Brother while getting some classic zombie action in. Sure it might not score eleventy out of 10 on the OcUK Zombie Critic scale, but it was a good enough way to kill an hour compared to the usual tripe (reality tv included) that's on prime time usually.

THMRK · 27 Oct 2008 at 23:09

It's probably one of the better things on TV at the moment that's produced in the UK, and I think it's up there with the best UK TV of recent years.

The idea of the show is homage to zombies. Sure, there's a bit of satire, that's not really intentional, but Brooker wanted to make TV nasty again. He loves zombies, and zombie movies, and this is his homage to that.

I liked it. It's a bit more brutal than you would see any other TV series go, and I like that. Plus all out zombie-fest to Mika = one of the funniest things I've seen.
