Ian Freer Empire Magazine A suitably icky, effective Brit horror. Rated: 3/5 Feb 17, 2013 Full Review Eddie Harrison The List The slow pace and choppy technicalities will deter all but the most hardcore genre fans, although the more determined zombie-philes will find something to sink their teeth into. Rated: 2/5 Feb 21, 2013 Full Review Anton Bitel Projected Figures here the undead seem like (semi-)vivid metaphors for the stasis that has developed between couple Alex and Meg, long since trapped in a habitual shuffle of recrimination, longing and addictive displacement routines (his alcohol, her exercise).

Audience Member I found the film surprisingly good, and I'm not really a zombie film person. It appears that this one tries to add a bit more depth and thought to the genre. Personally, I think it works well. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review bryan b Zombie movie with 3 zombies?? I was glad when the couple became lunch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Before Dawn 25.2.21 6.3/0. Is it me, or does the main male on the film pic look like Ms Izzard? The beginning feels very real. Point to note, it is described as not being draughty but look at the gaps around that front door, with it's old latch an all! How many times: shut the f**king door behind you!! Liked the shaky camera work and reverb into another scene. Good job no splash-back. I hated that lampshade!. Some of the music didn't quite do it but that being said, I must say that for an arguement between spouses produced a really good film. The atmosphere between the two worked and the balance of gore and storyline did it for me. Keep arguing guys - try out different themes, and see how they work too, collaboratively. Well done! D.B. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A married couple go on a weekend trip to try rebuild their broken marriage, unaware of what is happening on the outside world. Slow burning, downbeat but solid low budget Brit horror with obvious nods to to 28 Days Later. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member its worst zombie movie I ever watched mostly talking in this movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member turned this off after 30 minutes very very slow.
