I have to admit that I watched this with a presupposition, but the acting was note worthy and the script was awesome! I have yet been surprised by such a great flick since 28 days later. I know this is not the conventional zombie flick but you must give this movie a watch, as it will convince you to continue. Please take my word for this, I am very judgmental and to have my support is very difficult. I would hope that they would be noticed by the big rigs and given a honorable budget, they could definitely create a massive block buster, but I must tell you that the only thing I barely didn't like was the futuristic feel. Everyone knows the big money lies in the realistic styles, as for now, but that can change. They have the best possible script and the best possible actors, except for the guy who says "you have bla bla to set the bomb!" These guys can definitely create a blockbuster given the funds. I didn't think it was possible to deflect my bias about b-flicks, but this movie had me completely ignore the lack of budget as the story was complete and fulfilled all the unknowns to keep me addicted to the very last second! This movie is awesome and I can only hope to see more creativity like this from other films, but I have yet to see a movie surpass my expectations as this one did!

Ambitious British sci-fi/action/horror that is clearly reaching far beyond it's meagre budget, but is spirited enough to pull it off.Tells the story of a future where society now lives in huge underground cities. A group of soldiers are sent to investigate activity on the long dead surface, but find something far worse than they expected. It shows what you can do with no money and a lot of creativity and maybe if the British film industry actually funded projects like this we'd stand a better chance of making some half-decent films.The actors may not be perfect, the special effects not as flashy as we're used to in films of the genre but it's got an infectious enthusiasm and a lot of heart so gets full marks for effort.

This film was down right fantastic. it starts very well....does not loose pace....the effects are great and the cinematography is sometimes simply stunning. the music is totally original and fits the film really well...a bit spooky and dark.it's atmospheric funny and creepy as hell - hard to do ..but they've got it. some of the sets are great - real feel of desolation. the scripting is great and there are lots of clever lines and witty banter. granted some of the acting isn't the best - but who cares! all in all its a great film. characters are believable, script is great, cgi is fabulous, cinematography is gorgeous gritty and creepy... what more could you wantdoes anyone know of anything else these people have done?

I just watched Infestation, i really thought it was good!! The story is thoughtful and has a good structure. Although with a few 'tongue in cheek' scenes, it still manages to pull off some fantastic action scenes!!!The gore isn't as gruesome as other zombie films but give a great brutal/ thug style of Zombie, but does lack a certain gruesome gore associated and loved with zombie films. I loved the fantastic CGI work!! for those computer game fans it ROCKS!!! and really creates the characters World their faced with, setting off a whole sci-fi/ horror blend genre very effectively!!Loved it!! Cant wait for the next film by this guy!!If this is what this team can produce on a low budget, id love to see what they can do on a good budget!!
