Dead Set On E4

I'm worried about the people who think the ending was rushed, and yet have failed to question the beginning of the film. We dont even know where the zombies came from, what had happened, why nobody had called anyone attending BB to mention the fact that the country had been overrun with zombies. The ending was no more rushed than the rest of the show.

Personally i think it was the perfect length and was executed brilliantly. It came and it went, exactly what a mini-series is supposed to do. It doesnt matter if everyone dies, or why zombies are running around, or how well you know the characters. It was good fun, wonderfully gory and had nice in jokes. Patrick is actually a producer of the Derren Brown shows, possibly already mentioned in this thread somewhere, so i imagine people in the business found the whole thing highly amusing to watch him be a **** and get ripped apart.


Just my thoughts really. I'll probably buy the DVD.

Think the start was right, suppose we have to assume it originated from something similar to 28 days/weeks scenario, I'm glad they didnt waste any time covering this part of the backstory etc and just left it for you to assume its was like the 28 movies
 
big let down for me, and before any1 says anything no a wasn't expecting it to be the greatest ever on tv.

the distinct lack of story made it total **** for me. a dont care about the characters or whatever else, but abit of story wouldn't go a miss.

for me, people going to a shop then coming back and dying isn't a story, a could watch the news for that.

isn't charlie brooker janine from eastenders? hahaha.
 
fighting your way out wouldn't be a complete impossiblity, the door way is a rather small confined doorway, letting only 1 through at a time, am sure with a little skill and precision you could axe them in the head as they come through, plus the pile of bodies that would amount just off a a few kills would slow them down quite quickly.

am not saying your gonna get through unscathed, but you could deffintly get through.
 
Watched the feature with all 5 eps back to back tonight, excellent stuff, really enjoyed it, actually didn't mind the ending as it was less cliche, less predictable and more realistic and highlighted the pathetic situation all the more, for a tv made show it was def well done, well filmed and staged and some scenes more gruesome than those in theatrical zombie films

DVD on my xmas prezzie wishlist ;)
 
Only just got round to watching this, saw it last night on Netflix. Total running time was around 150 minutes for all 5 episodes

It was fantastic! The Walking Dead could learn a thing or two about zombies from this. Highly recommended to anyone that likes the zombie genre.

I can't imagine that the budget was that big for this, but it looks fantastic. Just the right mix of zombie make up and frantic cam

Rate this a solid 8/10
