This has to be one of the worst films I have ever had the misfortune to see. The general idea of a coronal mass ejection hitting the planet earth with EM disruption is fair enough, but where did they get the idea that humans could survive a sustained 155ºF? The acting was so terrible I got the feeling that the casting agents simply grabbed a handful of people off of Santa Monica Boulevard and threw them in front of the camera. In all honesty I have seen less wooden acting from my ironing board. Sorry, but this film was poor, poor, poor.

When this show first began I was still a schoolboy and I loved it because my dream was to be a nurse in a casualty unit. Since that time I have realised that dream, and also realised what utter tripe this show has become. True to BBC drama form these days it seems that everything must be miserable or depressing to be considered good drama. Over the years I have seen the show deteriorate into the realms of nothing more than a political hobby horse. Bearing little resemblance to reality in any way all this show does for me is ensure I turn over stat!

I shan't beat about the bush, I love this film.

I grew up very close to where it was all filmed, although I was only 2 or 3 when they filmed it. I have seen this film so many times now that I have lost count, and every time I see it I am still left with a chill down my spine. Although this film creeps me out (and I consider myself to be closer to paganism than Christianity)I can go some way to forgiving the people of Summerisle, after all, he was exceptionally pompus and irritating.
