This film does nothing for the British film industry and helps bang yet another nail in the coffin of an ailing industry. I wouldn't say the bad acting referred to in other reviews is the root cause of this poorly made film, it's more the terrible editing and lack of any directorial vision. The script itself is diabolical and it is shocking that this even raised any funding. If it were made for the estimated £400,000 then that's £399,999 too much! I've seen student films that have been better made on lower budgets.I hope this doesn't impact too heavily on the careers on Gary Mavers, Claire Spence, Tom Cotcher or Joseph Millson who tried to perform with terrible lines.As they say you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

There's something to be said for any filmmaker committed enough to put their vision on film. The problem is that sometimes those visions suck. The British have often been able to do a lot with a little, especially in the horror genre. This is not one of those times.S.N.U.B! does not need the exclamation point. Nothing that happens in this movie requires such punctuation. Really, it's pretty much one big (and tired) cliché. I'll excuse the bad digital special effects...this is a rather low budget film after all. But the poor story building, plot, and practical special effects are just bad. I mean...hell...just plain terrible. Nothing that happens here will be a surprise. Nothing will urge you to keep watching. In fact, even at 1 hour and 14 minutes it still feels too long. I feel bad for everyone whose name appears in the opening credits. After all, if you're going to make a low budget affair, why list everyone's name in the opening as if they would ever appear in anything ever again? Ditch this in favor of much better films from Great Britain. This is just a waste.

I'm giving this movie ten out of ten not because I think it's the best film ever, but because I think it achieves exactly what it sets out to deliver and deserves some credit! I found the trailer for this film accidentally on YouTube and okay, it's obviously low budget, but as a fan of especially British indie horror movies thought I'd track down a copy and give it a go.The effects are actually really good (though the zombie mutant things are a bit disappointing when they finally arrive). There's a lack of big scare moments but overall I just found the whole thing entertaining. It's tongue in cheek - in some places actually quite self referentially funny - and whilst very short, the pace is refreshing and kept my interest up.No, the characters aren't well rounded but they do tick all the boxes and I cared enough to enjoy watching the nasty politician guy get his come-uppance (and the pretty girls running away from the radioactive mutants). And there's a subtle twist at the end as well.It really depends what you want out of a film... if you want high brow art or a big budget studio picture, avoid this film, but if like me you enjoy a refreshing change of pace and an entertaining little British action flick, this is actually really quite good.

Usual premise, bombs gonna go off, been left by terrorists... blah blahFair enough, obviously not much money involved in this production. And it looks like the film does the best it can. Character build up is left until we get in the bunker, which is within about 10 mins of the film starting. But to be honest there is no care for any of the characters. The government official is very annoying, as is the American woman. The film itself is only 1hr and 15mins but seems like it drags on. The film is let down by its poor acting, and the mutant zombie victims from the nuclear explosion are pretty lame, as is their make up. The die hard zombie fans out there may want to watch this just to say they have seen it, but to be honest i would rather watch a repeat of 28 days or weeks later.
