Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Endorfun86-928-706119 I read a few reviews, some giving this movie a 4 Star review and then the there are the ones that gave this 10 stars with some @*%# about how others that gave this a low rating just didn't understand something about this movie. Well, this movie plain and simply gives proof that Britain should not be allowed to make, export or give advice when it comes to horror movies, and should only be allowed to make comedies.
Paul Magne Haakonsen First of all I will start out by saying that the cover for this movie has absolutely nothing to do with the contents of the actual movie. Two words: false advertising. I bought the movie because it is a zombie movie and because of the cover, so I was sorely disappointed with a slap to the face.This is a compilation of three tales that are interwoven. That being said, I will have to stress that the stories weren't particularly entertaining, neither alone nor in their tied in connections, nor did the overall feel of the movie come off as anywhere near captivating. And come daybreak of the next day you will have forgotten about this movie already, trust me.There were a bit too many wrong Things with the zombies, such as they could remember their Family members, some were quite fast and agile, and of course the typical poor zombie make-up in low budget zombie movies - where they paint the face a horribly bad gray color and forget about the rest of the body, with the neck and hands standing out like sore thumbs.As an avid zombie aficionado I devour, pardon the pun, anything even remotely zombie. This movie, however, falls into the lower aspect of the zombie genre, and I can't recommend it to anyone because it is boring and bad on the level that only low budget zombie movies manage to reach.
Paul Sutton I love horror films. Not the gorefests, or the ones that exist only to make you jump out of your seat every two seconds. No, I like CLEVER horror films - ones that make you think, keep you guessing and twist your perceptions of what you think you know. The Eschatrilogy is such a film.When a stranger walks into the refuge of a lone young man following what looks like the end of civilization, and then faints at his feet, the man finds a book telling of 3 stories involving 3 different protagonists. This is the true genius of Damian Morter's storytelling, as you are treated to 3 sub-stories all interwoven together to slowly help the man (and the audience) put together the pieces of how things came to pass. Each story is wonderfully shot and told, and the actors (especially the children) are superb in showing everyday people faced with extraordinary choices.Without giving any spoilers, let's just say characters from each story turn up in the other tales to varying degrees, helping to give a sense of continuity to events rather than it being 3 random stories. So what happens once he's read the book and the stranger wakes up? Well, that's a story in itself, and one that brings the film to a logical, yet fiendishly clever conclusion.Look out for cameo appearances from Sarah Jane Honeywell (of CBeebies fame) and several other reasonably well known actors, all of whom lend a sense of credibility to an inexperienced but talented cast who will no doubt go on to great success following this work. If there's one small criticism, the opening 10 minutes could probably be trimmed but make no mistake - this is one of the best films of the year. Filmed on peanuts, with a cast of over 300 volunteers and with excellent cinematography, sound and a chilling score, catch this one on the horror convention circuit or eagerly await the DVD release in 2013. Clever, thoughtful and in places heart-tugging, this is no ordinary chiller!
kirstywatson Both the storyline and the technical work put into this film are excellent. Home grown talent within the North of the UK, the professionalism portrayed by the cast, crew and the directors shines through. Unlike many movies of this genre that I have seen, the special effects are very realistic. The storyline has your mind wondering and on the edge of your seat, with a brilliant twist at the end. This film keeps the audience in suspense and left me wanting more! I find that the fact the director (Damian Morter) both directs and stars in the film complimentary to the ethics of this movie. Both Husband and wife (Nicola Morter) have worked together on this and this can be seen, as despite the movie being about zombies, it has a very humanistic, thought provoking storyline. It is not just your stereo-typical all blood and gore zombie movie, but it actually touches the heart of the audience and would delve into the heart of even the most hardened of zombie movie addict.This movie appeals to both men and women, providing a good balance of SFX with a safe measure of a compassion of what a person would go through if they were to be in this type of situation.The acting from both the main actors and the rest of the cast is believable and consistent throughout the whole of the movie. Especially, the eeriness of the children in the film, who act their parts out very well. All round a brilliant movie a definite must see!
