After a zombie apocalypse spreads from a London prison, the UK is brought to its knees. The spread of the virus is temporarily contained but, without a cure, it’s only a matter of time before it breaks its boundaries and the biggest problem of all… any zombies with combat skills are now enhanced. With the South East of England quarantined from the rest of the world using fortified borders, intelligence finds that the scientist responsible for the outbreak is alive and well in London. With his recovery being the only hope of a cure, a squad of eight Special Forces soldiers is sent on a suicide mission to the city, now ruled by the undead, with a single task: get him out alive within 72 hours by any means necessary. What emerges is an unlikely pairing on a course to save humanity against ever-rising odds.
A gritty, tactical zombie apocalypse thriller that amps up the undead menace with military precision and a dash of British grit.
- Combines grimy urban decay with high-stakes squad-based action, delivering a claustrophobic war zone vibe unlike your typical zombie romp.
- Practical effects and gore lean into the visceral, with some impressively brutal makeup and creature work from the UK’s indie horror scene.
- For fans of military horror and zombie survival, it’s a lean, mean blend of Heat-style tactics and Romero’s undead — no nonsense, just nonstop tension.
- Not for those craving deep character arcs or fresh zombie lore, but a solid exploitative pulse-pounding ride for genre loyalists craving grimy, down-and-dirty apocalypse grit.
