Big Brother Dead Set

[MinionZombie]

Good extras are there? Making Of stuff etc, decent lengths as well? I think I'll whack this on my Xmas list.

I finally got a chance to see this, and it was great fun, even with the running, contact wearing zombies. Shaun of the Dead, 28 days /weeks later, and now Dead Set-- The UK is kicking USA ass in the living dead movie realm.

The UK is kicking USA ass in the living dead movie realm. and dont you forget it my good man!

[MinionZombie]

and dont you forget it my good man! Even though 28 Days/Weeks Later is not a zombie flick ... it's a plague movie with living people infected with a rabies-like rage virus ... anyway, yes ... yes we are. I think us Brits can throw in a different take on the zombie genre, because we haven't done it so much, and it's from a country that isn't America. We inject a different vibe of humour into things, and we can also get quite bleak (when we want to), so in that respect we sometimes go far further than what you American chaps can get away with in your zed flicks ... I mean, Dead Set got really bleak at the end, but it was awesome ... despite the *sigh* runners. This just reminds me of course, that I STILL haven't gotten around to starting my zombie epic script ... gah! The pre-writing malaise! It's swarming me like a horde of the undead!

Even though 28 Days/Weeks Later is not a zombie flick ... it's a plague movie with living people infected with a rabies-like rage virus ... anyway, yes ... yes we are. That's like saying Martin isn't a Vampire-film... If a film follows the conventions and clichés of the zombiefilm genre, then it is a zombiefilm. The technical details of the monsters do not define genres.

Ugh... *paws EvilNed away ... distracts him with a copy of Fallout 3 surrounded by dancing girls ... ... then lobs the game at him and pegs it with the ladies* Deej - if you haven't already seen, I posted a couple of links where you can buy the R2 DVD.

The technical details of the monsters do not define genres. Totally agree. How people can consider Dawn 04 or Dead Set zombie flicks yet prattle on about 28 Days Later NOT being a zombie film, I dunno... ...I know that the 'zombs' in 28 aren't dead but they have the trademark characteristics of the runner zombie. Infected, inschmected - it's all friggin' viral and they all kill their victims via munching, clawing and tearing. End of.

[MinionZombie]

They're not dead in 28 Days/Weeks Later ... but they are in Yawn-fest-04 and Dead Set. Plus, the makers of 28 never intended it to be a zombie film, they didn't direct a zombie film, nor wrote one - the writer and director have both themselves said they only took certain elements of the iconography and dropped a couple of references to GAR (whom they both admire) and that's that...you might as well call I Am Legend a zombie film then if you use your logic, and it isn't, it's a plague/apocalypse movie - same as 28 Days/Weeks Later - especially as the viral aspect, cause, spread and effect is focussed on quite closely, thus - plague movie. A zombie, even in the voodoo sense, is someone who either is dead, or is believed to be dead (appears to be dead to onlookers who've 'seen them die' and then 'seen their corpse walk'). 28 Days Later has "infected", which is precisely what the writer and director intended them to be, to set them apart from zombies. Sheesh.
