So, a man (Cillian Murphy)
wakes up in an abandoned hospital and, after walking round London for a while
trying to work out where everyone went, he realises it’s a Zombie apocalypse.
This is the first zombie
movie I’ve seen that isn’t trying to parody itself (Shaun of the Dead, Warm
Bodies) and I was genuinely impressed. There was an underlying narrative in
this film that was as much about morals as it was about staying alive, there
was also a strong exploration of character here too. And, when scheming army
major (Christopher Eccelston) turns up you realise not everyone is a good guy.
The idea that just because someone isn’t a zombie doesn’t mean they’re going to
be on your side was an exciting thought, and gave you something to think about
whilst the woozy action sequences of the final act took place.
