Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

mj68538 I've put down 'may contain spoilers' but you'd be hard pushed to find a spoiler for this film since almost everything in it was borrowed from one zombie apocalypse film or another.Take a pinch Resident Evil's Umbrella Corps, add a small portion of Resident Evil's Alice and garnish with a pinch of Omega Man for Cole, add a heaped teaspoonful of generic British actors / film locations and a healthy dollop of 28 days later for the infected/zombies. Place in a medium cooking plot, and allow to simmer for 92 minutes. Finally garnish with a sprig of Jaime Murray typecast as yet another manipulative woman, and you have the perfect zombie stew.Having said all that, it did have some interesting bits in it, e.g. Fairbrass' Cole totally stole the show, leaving Danny Dyer's character as little more than a minor zombie-fodder character with an above average number of lines, and in so doing made the film oddly watchable. Also the idea of adding in a couple of conniving 'outsiders' added to the film's complexity (it needed it). Both of these bits could have taken the film to a whole new level if it weren't for face-palm-inducing plot holes, e.g. Cole just happening to stumble across the one person he was looking for in the middle of the zombie-infested green belt, and the way the two 'evil' characters somehow persuaded the heroine they were more trustworthy than her best friend?!So overall, some interesting ingredients lost in a bland mix of stock zombie-movie moments. It'll fill up a hole if you're hungry for a zombie movie and don't want to challenge your tastebuds too much...

jlthornb51 An excellent script and expert direction make for some of the most powerful apocalyptic imagery ever put on film. There is one haunting scene after another in this motion picture and the audience will find itself swept up in the unrelenting suspense and action. With a cast of superb actors bringing a literate, intelligent script to life under a skilled director, it is a perfect situation for producing one of the greatest films dealing with the apocalypse in cinema history. Jamie Murray, in particular, is stunning here and gives a performance that is electric. You won't soon forget the overwhelmingly explosive proceedings which leads to one of the most inspired endings to ever reach the silver screen.

GL84 When an experimental drug turns the trial recipients into blood-crazed zombies and manage to overrun London, a small band of survivors must found out why one of their own who was subjected as well never turned and what it could mean to stop the epidemic.Overall this one was a fairly decent British zombie effort which isn't all that bad overall and does have some good stuff going for it. Among the best elements featured here is that the pace of the film gives this one some nice action scenes as it manages to move along with the attacks fairly nicely in that regard from scenes of the massive swarm overrunning their victims to single zombies against the group which makes it that much more enjoyable. The beginning here when the deformity gets loose in the facility gets this one going nicely as well as the resulting overrunning of the guards as he tries to blast through the crowds, the street battle of the swarm taking to the streets bring the victims out of their cars and attacking those stranded on the sidewalks while the most fun is had out in the woods which has a lot of great parts here. The initial attacks come from solo, one-on-one battles against the creatures throughout the autoshop which is fun with the big fighting but gets fun with the swarm appearing and generating plenty of enjoyable times here as they come running out of the woods spilling into the camp and over the vehicles while requiring the fun of the hand-to- hand brawls in order to hold them off. Likewise, the finale here is all sorts of fun with the mad road dash through the city streets filled with creatures, the big brawls at the helicopter pad and the full-on swarming that overruns the group's helicopter pad forcing a huge fight to hold them off while the others get to safety during the fights which make for a really fun time here. That also provides some nice highlights mainly in the blood-and-gore department as well as there's some pretty gruesome attacks in this one that really lets the blood flow here in the brutal attacks from the creatures and the vicious tactics to hold them down. The zombies look good enough and are given a good enough look throughout that holds up over the film's biggest issue. The one factor here that brings it down is the zombies' behavior, since not only is this one filled with rather clumsy action but also manages to follow the utterly stupid look of running zombies which move and run about as ninjas the way they bounce around walls here, making for a thoroughly dissatisfying taste. It's not enough to be completely disruptive of the movie, but it's enough to knock it down some against the positives.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Excessive Graphic Language.

Kenny_Tha_Killa After watching some inadequate horror movies over the past couple of days, this was exactly what I needed - a gory, bloody zombie flick with all the trimmings. Devil's Playground takes place in London where a pharmaceutical company announces that they have stumbled across a new wonder drug that they describe as a legal "performance enhancer" (super steroids) which actually (to the embarrassment of the drug company) turns out to be a poisonous cocktail that kicks off a zombie outbreak which quickly sweeps through the UK.We follow a group of people as they try to survive by finding an area somewhere in London that is zombie-free. Now, there's a plot twist that's pretty much a blatant ripoff of 28 Weeks Later, but I chose to look past it because the character development was adequate and the storyline bumped along at an even pace.Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the zombies. Devil's playground follows in the new tradition of showcasing athletic zombies that have the same speed and the same appetite as Mike Tyson. Yes, the zombies you know and love from the Dawn Of The Dead remake and 28 Days & Weeks Later are back to hunt people down like a pack of bloodthirsty dobermans that haven't been fed for weeks.The movie doesn't quite live up to the standards of Dawn Of The Dead and 28 Days & Weeks Later, but it's well worth the time if you're in the mood for a zombie flick and haven't filled your blood and gore quota for the month. Two thumbs up, horror fans.
