With all of the horror writing and production talent in the UK I would think Channel 4 could have come up with something interesting - reasonably interesting at least.
But this is one of the most boring 'horror' TV series I have ever seen. It is the standard 'zombie' story - but tedious - so tedious I was glad when it was over.
The only thing that makes it anywhere near more watchable than a washing machine are the talented actors - who seem to be trying to do the best they can with very little to work with. After all they can only work with the story and direction they are given.
Really - don't waste your time with this nonsense.

This is a nice indie horror from Ireland that makes a nice change from all the copycat movies that have become so boring in this genre.
The acting is superb as is the production, creating a realistic gritty atmosphere of a story that could well be true.
The only criticism I have is that the story could have gone in to the background of how the characters became the way they were a bit more. That was a bit vague and missing some detail.
But overall well worth a watch, and well worth a higher rating on here than it has.
A good one for fans who like indie horror that is a bit different and engaging.

It is rare to see a film in which zero care has been taken in production, but this is one.
It looks like it's been shot on an iPhone and some filters slapped over it.
Most of the lighting is completely illogical in the frame leaving one wondering 'where the hell is that light coming from' and wondering why there is such a difference in hues.
The camera work is truly awful. It's like being forced to watch someone's really bad holiday snaps, with the top of heads chopped off for no good reason, claustrophobic framing - again for no good reason, and then - again for no good reason - using handheld making the already awful framing jump around like a demented hamster.
As for direction - well there isn't any going on here. The actors seem to have been left much to their own devices (not their fault) as has everything else about the film. But that seems to be a trademark of the director/co-writer of this pile of junk.
Give it a miss - it doesn't even generate much amusement - it's just awful.
