I have always disliked most British films
This film is no exception. It feels incredibly cheap. It lacks professional direction, and the actors seem to be at a pre-amateur level. Even Glenn Close came across as a wooden, 2-dimentional, stereotypical female scientist who looked like a man. So why not pick a male actor then?
The protagonist's is very unlikable and her slick, shallow attitude was genuinely off-putting. She is a zombie but a "good" and "polite" zombie. Come on! Also, the kids at the military facility were inexplicably slick and overly polite as well, despite being treated as trash. Neither made is sense as they were supposedly "normal" with human emotions until they smelled blood.
The zombies look extremely low-budget, with makeup reminiscent of something from the 60s. Clearly the budget didn't extend to skilled makeup artists. Basically a bunch of extras with dirty faces and clothing.
The child zombies' performances were so bad that I had to fast forward to avoid unbearable cringe. Whatever they did in front of the camera knocked down my 3 starts to 1.
Finally, the ending...wow, so incredibly creative and groundbreaking "twist" - NOT! To top it off, a school for zombie kids!?
Give me a break.
Overall, it's a terrible, cheap, low-budget. Poorly directed and oh so British film that isn't worth your time or money.
