This really isn't a good movie.

Right from the start the majority of characters are totally unbelievable and the acting below par. To be fair to the cast, many of them don't have much experience, so it is down to the director to guide and get the most out of them - which they clearly didn't.

The story isn't that good to begin with and being stretched to 1h 46m makes it something of a trial to stay awake through. I was very relieved when the end credits finally appeared.

There is no sense of atmosphere or drama to bring the viewer in to the world of the characters. It is like watching endless slides of someone's boring holiday snaps.

You'll get more tension and fear from watching a washing machine on spin cycle.

While it's not the worst film there is, it's still below average.

The excecution is quite flawed and feels rather cheap, from the direction to the weapon FX. But a couple of gory melee effects were not bad.

The Story is simple and didn't make too much sense. The script is poor, some of the actors did alright with what was given, some did not.

I've watched worse, but there is certainly no need to spend time on this one.

Best movie ever, The entire cast deserve awards. The director is a genius. My account is brand new so there's no reason to doubt my review.

Make a list of all the most horrible qualities that the worst movies have that you've ever seen. Post the list on the net somewhere. Then watch this movie and see how they just totally nailed what was on your list! Did they travel forward in time, see your list of the most horrible qualities of the worst movies ever made, then go back in time and make this movie, making sure to check off everything on your list? You tell me!

One of the worst movies ever. Terrible acting, ridiculous story, so many inconsistencies.

It certainly deserves better than the bashing it's getting from some reviewers here. I found the lead actress did a good job of making a compelling character despite some story limitations. In fact, most of the actors were decent. The story is far from original, and I think that the market for zombie fare is oversaturated. That said, this is far better than your average streaming-service horror flick (to me, it seemed more of an action thriller with a good dose of horror elements), with a plot that's simple enough to follow while internet-surfing, though it stole my attention from my surfing from time to time. I've seen plenty worse, and I look forward to seeing the lead actress again.

On the surface this film looks promising but like so much else these days, its purely superficial.

The casting is passable, the setting is actually pretty decent but so much else is horribly lacking. The zombies are more silly than scary and there's a real lack of quality action and tension, this film desperately needs.

Frankly, there is a whole raft of superior zombie films out there that surpass this one in most respects.

4/10.

This is one of the worst movie I have everseen in my life. Trust me, you will have no regret skipping it.

Sinéad O'Connor is jailed on a prison island far away from civilization, where some shady doctors perform medical experiments on the inmates in less than sanitary conditions.

When a bunch of deathrow mates have to team up with jail guards to survive because an experiment had gone wrong, you could expect a lot of violence and bloodletting. This is basically the plot of the movie, but somehow the scares are very effective, and the director manages to convey dread throughout the movie, even before any action begins. The setting is used brilliantly, and creates a gothic horror atmosphere. The protagonists, eventhough they are hardened criminals, are all relatable and you feel for them. Nothing much is told about the characters but their interactions is enough to reveal their humanity. Thus making their deaths very impactful. There is also a good cop and bad cop to make things interesting. There is violence and bloodshed but they are not used gratituiously, making it very effective. I must say I really loved this film and recommend it to all. This could have turned out to be a generic gory slasher but is in fact one of the better than some big budget horrors.

An interesting zombie film with funny characters and a lot of gore, great makeup effects, creepy locations, good cinematography full of chiaroscuro frames, a fine executed direction: horror and some drama. The script could be better, some drama scenes are a kind bored, but the acting is good, especially Jess Chanliau playing Stone. An entertaining film, no more.

Because this film was very sloppy. OK that's a bit harsh, it was actually a good effort for a script that seemed bigger than its budget. For the most part the acting was a mixed bag of pretty good to kind of cringey, but I believe a good portion of those cringe-fests were down to a script lacking in any substance, for an example - within 38 minutes 'The Butcher' has to repeat the line "you have no authority now" or something to that effect THREE TIMES! It doesn't sound like much but until that point she had said maybe 40 words in total.

And sure, the action scenes were lacking in any kind of excitement and even though they used choppy editing to cover up the fact that nobody can actually throw a punch without letting out a fart which scares themselves - it still looked terrible and completely ruined the emersion that we're supposed to be watching double-hard dudettes serving life in prison.

Having said that, I really loved the cinematography and creative style I'm which this was shot, can't compliment it enough.

So all in all, not bad really. Good effort.

Oh yeah, and is it just me but when Lennon was introduced did anybody else get a very strong "James Ellis - Sarge" vibe? It was uncanny.

Anybody there??

By far, on top of my list, the worst movie I've seen. The script was ok, the acting was ok, the story and the directing was terrible. Woman runs across the room to stop someone from blowing her head off. Maybe in a universe when people are faster than bullets... just poor altogether. When I fall asleep during a movie SOBER. That's my que to not finish it the next day.

I don't want to waist anymore time on this film... So I will keep it short. Idea for the movie is not that bad. But the casting in this film is really really bad. The lead actress had zero charisma. The direction is cheap. Don't waits your life. Don't watch it!

It was predictable but I still enjoyed the movie. I did not see the ending coming and perhaps a set up for a sequel of which I would watch. You really know what your getting so I disagree with the very low stars. I have seen MUCH MUCH worse.

Give it a watch with no expectations and you might enjoy it. On a note, I want to Produce a Zombie movie so call me if you do the sequel.

I wasn't overly enthused about watching this having read some reviews - which serves me right for reading them before watching! I honestly don't know what some people want from a film. That's to say, I enjoyed this.

It took me a while to appreciate the lead actress. Unlike other cast members, Jess Chanliau initially mumbles her lines and is incomprehensible some of the time. A shame, because Stone is very interesting and not a run-of-the-mill heroine, and when circumstances become more intense, her performance is excellent. The standard of acting elsewhere is often very good, with only a few performances not quite convincing.

The story involves a zombie breakout on an island prison. The location is beautifully filmed and we get a real sense of isolation. Also, as Warden Crowe insists, extreme measures must be taken not to allow the infection to spread onto the mainland.

The story moves at an energetic pace, features lots of well defined characters and at just over 90 minutes, gives us time to get to know them. There are some impressive moments of gore, and the infected are very convincing - descendants of films like '28 Days Later' rather than the shufflers from Romero's vision.

I see a TON of low scores on here. Going into this one you need to look at it for what it is. Its a lower budget zombie movie. Of course it ticks all the low budget boxes like mediocre acting and average special effects. BUT- this movie was still very enjoyable. Don't go into it expecting dawn of the dead quality and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I feel like people think movies have to be million dollar budget projects to be good anymore. Over all 6/10.

Awlful acting ! The female lead mumbles her way through her lines and the direction is awful . The idea was ok if not very original but there needs to be a script as well ! It felt like everyone was making it up as they went along

Over used cliched bs. The dumbest and wimpiest prison guards on Earth guarding the supposed hardest prison in the world. Then we come to the cliched G.I Jane Ripley type. They just copied other foreign zombie movies.
