Gripping horror

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 December 2015

The synopsis of this film is enough to make you want to watch it. A man wakes up in a pit full of dead bodies. He has no memory of how he got there. After escaping he enters a house full of strangers who are also extremely agitated and just like him they have all lost their memory.

The elephant in the room though is that if they are all alive then who has killed all the people? That is when the fun begins. What I really liked about this film was that it continued to surprise, I got it wrong every time I tried to guess what was coming next and that for me is a real plus.

The cast are a brilliantly disparate group too and they all do an excellent job of keeping you right on the edge of your seat. The pacing is just right; the make up spot on and even the music gets the mood just right. There is not a lot not to like here (sorry about the double negative). It was filmed in Hungary but has a feel of being American despite a cast that is International. If you like your horror’s to be a bit on the dystopian side then you should have a look at this.

Zombies with a difference

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2021

Starts really well, a man wakes up in a mass grave with total amnesia. He's stuck until a mute oriental woman lowers a rope and pulls him out. The film is a tense thriller to start with but eventually sinks into shock tactics. Well acted, well-paced, but can't someone come up with an idea that isn't basically Aliens, Predator, or zombies? What if it is a plague which has killed off most of humanity and left a lot as crazed killers? It's still a zombie gore fest. You may find it worth a watch but I wouldn't watch it again.

Finally, an entertaining film worth watching. I have sat through and nodded off through so much rubbish recently that I was extremely grateful to find this horror/mystery/thriller. Thoroughly gripping, kept me guessing, extremely well acted and a suitably atmospheric musical score. Thank you!

Curiously shocking and mesmorising - captivated for answers

One of the best films I have watched in ages.Tension and confusion from the beginning as the plot unravels,who is to blame and how did this all happen? The story gradually unfolds with suspense and mystery throughout, each person is linked but how?You will be captured by shocked curiosity until the very end.An ending which answers everything so you won't be disappointed, leaving you with the satisfaction of a well delivered plot.

I first saw this film on Sky movies and have now watched it twice more. The twist at the end is so worth waiting for that I almost wish I didn't know what's going to happen but it's so different from any other horror film or zombie movie that I find something new in the plot every time I watch it.

Saw this on youtube and had to buy it. It was a film of odd beginnings and even stranger human frailty. I love Thomas Kretchmann and the lead played by the guy who starred in District 9 made me think it was worth buying. The more you watch it the more you see and understand. The disc is clean and scratchfree and the cover perfect. Excellent buy
