Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Endorfun86-928-706119 I read a few reviews, some giving this movie a 4 Star review and then the there are the ones that gave this 10 stars with some @*%# about how others that gave this a low rating just didn't understand something about this movie. Well, this movie plain and simply gives proof that Britain should not be allowed to make, export or give advice when it comes to horror movies, and should only be allowed to make comedies.
Paul Magne Haakonsen First of all I will start out by saying that the cover for this movie has absolutely nothing to do with the contents of the actual movie. Two words: false advertising. I bought the movie because it is a zombie movie and because of the cover, so I was sorely disappointed with a slap to the face.This is a compilation of three tales that are interwoven. That being said, I will have to stress that the stories weren't particularly entertaining, neither alone nor in their tied in connections, nor did the overall feel of the movie come off as anywhere near captivating. And come daybreak of the next day you will have forgotten about this movie already, trust me.There were a bit too many wrong Things with the zombies, such as they could remember their Family members, some were quite fast and agile, and of course the typical poor zombie make-up in low budget zombie movies - where they paint the face a horribly bad gray color and forget about the rest of the body, with the neck and hands standing out like sore thumbs.As an avid zombie aficionado I devour, pardon the pun, anything even remotely zombie. This movie, however, falls into the lower aspect of the zombie genre, and I can't recommend it to anyone because it is boring and bad on the level that only low budget zombie movies manage to reach.
Paul Sutton I love horror films. Not the gorefests, or the ones that exist only to make you jump out of your seat every two seconds. No, I like CLEVER horror films - ones that make you think, keep you guessing and twist your perceptions of what you think you know. The Eschatrilogy is such a film.When a stranger walks into the refuge of a lone young man following what looks like the end of civilization, and then faints at his feet, the man finds a book telling of 3 stories involving 3 different protagonists. This is the true genius of Damian Morter's storytelling, as you are treated to 3 sub-stories all interwoven together to slowly help the man (and the audience) put together the pieces of how things came to pass. Each story is wonderfully shot and told, and the actors (especially the children) are superb in showing everyday people faced with extraordinary choices.Without giving any spoilers, let's just say characters from each story turn up in the other tales to varying degrees, helping to give a sense of continuity to events rather than it being 3 random stories. So what happens once he's read the book and the stranger wakes up? Well, that's a story in itself, and one that brings the film to a logical, yet fiendishly clever conclusion.Look out for cameo appearances from Sarah Jane Honeywell (of CBeebies fame) and several other reasonably well known actors, all of whom lend a sense of credibility to an inexperienced but talented cast who will no doubt go on to great success following this work. If there's one small criticism, the opening 10 minutes could probably be trimmed but make no mistake - this is one of the best films of the year. Filmed on peanuts, with a cast of over 300 volunteers and with excellent cinematography, sound and a chilling score, catch this one on the horror convention circuit or eagerly await the DVD release in 2013. Clever, thoughtful and in places heart-tugging, this is no ordinary chiller!
Keiron Goodwin Before we start yes, I am an extra in the film but I'm trying my best to write this without being biased towards it, I'm also a fan of the zombie film genre too so... Having watched many low budget films lately in the zombie genre (and still working my way through them all as well) I went into the premiere of this movie expecting another mindless horde of zombies to rampage through the streets and countryside of the UK hell bent on devouring everyone in a small rag tag bunch of survivors (typically containing an old man, gun toting muscle bound hero and several big breasted women) but not in this movie, the director Damian Morter who also wrote and starred in the film did something a little different, the way the film is set out reminded me of a few older films the one that sticks in my mind the most is cats eye which has three stories that are based around a kind of main plot following a cat. Except obviously there's no cat in this film, the cat is replaced by an undertaker style figure traveling the countryside spreading the curse of the undead to all who cross his path which he chronicles in his book as you would. A young man then comes across a stranger in a forest who has this book and begins to read the tales within, these tales tell of the pain that three separate families suffer as part of this rising of the undead while the main plot surrounding the young man and the stranger unfold... Its different, not your ordinary zombie film, in my opinion its definitely worth a watch if you get a chance to visit a festival its showing at or if you get a chance to buy the DVD when its finally released. The camera work throughout is fantastic and doesn't again in my opinion betray the fact its a low budget film the crew, Damian and Nicola Morter, the make up artists, actors and extras at safehouse pictures have really outdone themselves (yes me included ;) ) bringing this film into being, lots of blood sweat and tears have gone into it. Definitely one to watch out for if your a fan of horror or zombies :)
