Most entertaining,
the long silences had you awaiting something mad happening at any moment.

tho admitedly, i couldnt stop laughing at the 'zombie' people.

they looked like they were on speed, needing some music, and bouncing out.

i also crapped myself when the car alarm went off at the start.

I can't remember the name of the program but i think it was on BBC2 and was a comedy by "The Pub Landlord" that comedian guy.

Anyway in it they have a competition between the best drinker from two pubs where they take it in turns to pick the drink they've got to drink.

The drinker from the comedian guys pub goes "Creme de menthe" for his pick in a really funny accent.

I am only mentioning this because when the celebratory drinks were offered i was reminded of that program and couldn't stop chuckling away to myself.

It was very funny.

I saw it on Friday night, it was excellent I thought. Well made and well scripted.

"Kind of" but also "not really".

It's taken the best bits of every Zombie movie there ever was.

They don't get called Zombies in the film tho.

They are "People who suffer from Rage".

The are "nasty".

I thought they called them 'infected' ?

Also Manchester burns. Rock and roll baby.

Have you read a book called 48 by James Herbert?

It sounds like this film in a way.
In the book the Germans launch a biological attack on the UK as a last ditch effort during the war.
The only people who survive are those with a very rare blood group.
One group is immune, while another are dieing slowly.
The dieing slowly group are chasing the immune group through a desolated London after their blood.
It's a great book.

I assume you watched that review program on BBC at 11pm on Friday night then.

But then you know what they say about "assumption".

Anyways ... no, i didn't think it was "anti-English".
