Just like Netflix, the Horror Channel has become a good friend to me during my 150 film challenge.

I saw the advert for this film a few days before it came on TV and I thought this looks interesting, I'll definitely give that a watch and it was absolutely brilliant!

It's an interesting take on the zombie genre, which we know has absolutely been done to death.
We are thrown straight into the story with absolutely no information as to where we are or any explanation as to what's happening.
The actors were very good. I had no idea who any of them were but they did an absolutely fantastic job. Benny (Leon Burchill) was definitely my favourite character, he provided some much needed comic relief from the second he came on screen.

The script was a little bit off at times, but this is definitely a film that doesn't take itself too seriously so it's easy to brush it off. Also I'm not normally big on cinematography but it definitely gets a thumbs up from me here.

Rating: 8/10

"That's what the ring is all about. The way it wraps around your finger - that's to remind you to keep your gift wrapped. Wrapped...until the day...you trade it in for that other ring. That gold ring"

I'd heard about this film from some of my friends back when I was in school so I thought I had a pretty good idea of what this film was going to be about, but it was after around maybe five minutes when I started thinking "what is this nonsense?".

After about 20 minutes I actually started to get into the film and I ended up really enjoying it. Everything I thought I knew about the film was completely wrong, I actually thought it was going to be this intensely dark horror film, but it turns out to be more dark humour then horror.

I really enjoyed how the students have a whole discussion on how its fine to show a penis in a sexual education book but it isn't okay for a vagina to be shown (which I thought was pretty outrageous). It also made me think of the whole argument of why it's okay for men to walk around topless but it isn't okay for women to do the same.

All in all, I think it's a pretty decent film.

Rating: 7/10
