Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 5.7 out of 10 from audiences and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, anyone who wants a laugh and horror fans. If you loved Shaun of the Dead or 28 Days Later, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 28 min.
What might put you off
Nothing much for most grown-ups.

A group of Cockneys arm themselves to rescue their elderly relative and his retirement home friends who are trapped and fighting off a zombie attack during a zombie apocalypse in the East End of London.
