It felt like it was going somewhere at first, until it started to stumble over its own concept and collapse into a ditch where it soon died and rotted away. This is an example of a movie that was too smart for its own good.

Their attempt at giving zombies "humanity" was a train-wreck. The way the scientist woman kept butting in every 5 minutes to give a pseudo-scientific explanation of everything wreaked of desperation from the writers, like they really wanted you to buy into this concept but it just ended up being laughably bad.

The only thing i appreciated was how they actually committed to creating a realistic post-apocalyptic world. This certainly isn't one of those movies where the "apocalypse" is only depicted as a burnt-out city skyline in the distance. You actually get to delve deep into a desolate zombie-infested London and the sets they created are pretty fantastic. As a Londoner myself i was impressed, it looked better than 28 Days Later.

But cool sets aren't enough to make up for bad writing. This might be worth watching if you REALLY like zombie movies. But for the average viewer it's a waste of time. There's no story here, the plot is just a boring escort mission that ends nowhere.

**The first step towards the new order after a great disaster.**

A dystopian British film. Zombie theme based on the book of the same name. The story of a few survivours, but all the focus was on the little girl. Thematically a very familiar film, but the storyline from the characters' perspective makes it unique. Nice cast, but it was not about Gemma Arterton. Her part was small, despite she can be seen in the film's entire stretch.

At the beginning, I did not know what's happening. Only after the second stage of the story commence, most of the doubts were cleared. But again, till the final scene, the film holds us with the strong progression. In some parts, it looks silly, but makes sense on the basis of its all the developments.

After their enclosure was broke, a group of survivours roams around the London looking for the food and the safe place. They manage to get away in some of the close encounters with the running deads. But how long it goes like that becomes the question. Besides, they divide when the girl comes into their topic. How the story ends was with a small twist.

There were some good zombie films in the last two years. This is one of those. If you like zombie theme, you might find it a refreshing. Not the storywise, but the characters. The little kid was so good. They have picked the right one for that role. Looks like it could be a cult film. Ends high, but I don't think there will be any sequel or prequel in the future. Definitely worth a try.
