Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Leofwine_draca DEAD SET is a TV horror from writer and journalist Charlie Brooker, positing a zombie outbreak at the same time a group of residents are living in the BIG BROTHER house. It sounds like a decent premise and it is, but I was slightly disappointed by the execution which is routine rather than electrifying.Brooker is well known for his satirical works so there's plenty of social commentary here about fame in the modern world, alongside swipes at BIG BROTHER itself. The zombie stuff is less impressive and rather straightforward, although it's also very gory to make up for deficiencies in the scripting. And the shouty, sweary script really is tiresome and predictable, failing to give any of the characters any kind of choice dialogue.It's a pity that the script is below par, because there are some impressive faces here: the reliable old-timer Kevin Eldon continues to do well, and Riz Ahmed's in it too. And it's hard to resist a show in which Davina McCall gets her just desserts. But in the end, other than the premise, I didn't find DEAD SET to be particularly engaging or memorable, just mean-spirited throughout.

skanklover_69 If you've watched every episode of The Walking Dead and seen all the quality zombie movies such as The Dawn of the Dead remake, Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland etc... and your wondering what's left. The answer is Dead Set.Imagine 28 Days Later the mini series and that just about sums it up. A zombie apocalypse breaks out in London in the midst of the production of the latest series of Big Brother. This premise allows for plenty of social commentary & biting satire. The BB director character Patrick is like David Brent from The Office but even more of a jerk. Hilarious. There is bitter sweet emotional drama too. The action is intense and frightening. Damn those fast zombies. They are stressful. Give me the slow American ones any day. Just kidding. Absolutely loved it! Check it out!

hellornola If you're a fan of zombies, this movie, above all others, is for you. Don't even bother reading the rest of this review. Go watch it now.The concept of using a Big Brother setting was a brilliant idea and worked very well. Whether you loved or hated the characters, they were unique and set apart in their personalities, and the acting was fantastic and believable.One of the most amazing things about this was the special effects. I've never seen such realistic movie gore; it's definitely not for the sensitive, because they is a lot of blood, guts, and brains in this movie. The zombies were well-made, too. The makeup and acting was far from any cliché zombie you might've seen before.This was simply wonderful, a movie any true horror fan will love. You won't regret seeing it over and over again.

bigfrog6 This show is awesomely brilliant! It can be watched as a typical zombie horror flick due to actors' deadpan delivery and directing style, but the more you pay attention to the dialogue the more of a comedy it becomes. The script by Charlie Brooker is witty and full of biting cynical social commentary. It's also a much better entry into the zombie genre than anything since the original REC. I could be wrong about this next point, but I believe Joplin to be Brooker's doppleganger. Plus if you watch Charlie Brooker's screenwipe you can see some of the characters Brooker parodies in this show. Three out of two thumbs up!
