VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Diane Ruth Mark McQueen superb direction of screenwriter Bart Ruspoli's brilliant script results in an apocalyptic vision of uncompromising horror. This is a stunning concept based upon the idea that somehow the dead have come back to life and an apocalypse of the undead has devastated civilization. With this unique foundation, McQueen builds a masterpiece of vast vistas of a city of horror, painted with imagery of bleak beauty so haunting it's unforgettable. This is the end of the world at its most powerful. Superb performances from an outstanding cast bring to life characters of touching depth and overwhelming humanity. Craig Fairbrass and Danny Dyer are particularly effective as men fighting for their lives as they try to protect those in their care. A magnificent film of unrelenting terror and supreme suspense, this is much more than simply one more zombie movie.

Leofwine_draca East End wide-boy Danny Dyer stars in this low-rent copy of Danny Boyle's 28 DAYS LATER, with infected zombie types racing around London and chowing down on unsuspecting passers-by. The twist in this one is that the zombies employ parkour, well in reality one or two of the same ones do, but it's hardly of the calibre seen in the likes of DISTRICT 13. In fact it's a random gimmick that adds nothing to the production whatsoever.Dyer's thunder is completely stolen here by the presence of proper hard man Craig Fairbrass (CLIFFHANGER), playing a tough, Ray Stevenson lookalike who seems to spend the entire running time hitting zombies in the head with the hammer. Well, it's a way to make money. The production values are low rent but acceptable here, and there's certainly a fast pace to keep you occupied while the clichéd storyline plays out.The supporting cast incorporates familiar faces like TV's MyAnna Buring (RIPPER STREET) playing somebody who might just hold the key to the cure for the zombie virus. Elsewhere, Sean Pertwee and Colin Salmon turn up for brief cameos early on, while DOOMSDAY villain Craig Conway bags a good guy role for a change. The production is similar in scope to the other Fairbrass starrer DEAD CERT, with the trade-off being that the humour is missing in favour of slightly better production values. Whatever way you look at it this is hardly the stuff of greatness, but it passes the time for the undemanding fan and it's certainly far from the worst zombie movie out there.

oneguyrambling Stop me if you've heard this before.A superdrug is tested inadvertently causes the patients to turn into mindless, rage filled… ummm… aaaaahhhh… zombies I guess. Coming into contact with fluids or being bitten by the infected allows the virus/condition/disease to be spread, leading to a massive contagion in the entire nation of Great Britain.Sound familiar? Well what about this? Only one patient seems immune to the negative symptoms – you know the flesh eating and general insanity – she is on the run, with various parties in pursuit to see if she holds the key to a cure.OK so Devil's Playground hardly breaks into new territory, but it has a couple of moments, not the least of which is the count the clichés bingo that can be played while watching.The reporter on the street being interrupted and killed on screen.The guy who repeats "Mum. Mum. MUM!" as his destiny shuffles ever closer, covered in blood and ready to teach the poor dumb guy a lesson in common sense.The guy who's infected and needs a cure immediately, only he lasts half the film without one while others who share a glass turn in 45 seconds flat.The whole 'but she's pregnant' bit.After the Zompocalypse © starts the infected immediately turn into parkour-ing Reapers from Blade 2, all leaping, snarling, unnecessary wall climbing menaces. They spill lots of blood and cause lots of gore all over the UK, usually with backdrops of carefully constructed carnage reminiscent of the Left 4 Dead video games.Devil's Playground is uninspired and formulaic and doesn't do much to separate it from a million other similarly bland zombie flicks. As much as I love zombies I can't help but think for the time being they are a little overdone, this isn't the film that will revitalize the genre, but I give a couple bonus points for at least trying to make the film look bigger and flasher than a lot of other low budget efforts.Final Rating – 4.5 / 10. So you say zombies are threatening the very social fabric of a nation again and it's up to a few individuals to save humanity? Wake me when it's finished will ya?

Jon Doe I like to watch an occasional zombie flick here and there. Even after 30 years of watching these movies and seeing every different type of zombie film done every way over and over it becomes hard to find one thats enjoyable. I actually found this movie enjoyable and suspenseful at times. The actors were good and some of the effects were great for a low budget fare. I really don't understand people comparing this to 28 days later or Resident Evil as if anything those movies are copies of older zombie movies done a hundred times over. Their budgets and actors are all them set them apart except for 28 days later which just was a great new concept of story telling using an old genre. This doesn't take away from the movies greatness though don't get me wrong.The thing with zombie films is you cant really call them ripoffs because they are ALL ripoffs if they came out after 1985. The zombie genre has continually beaten to death for decades and the genre will continue to keep spewing out more so please stop using that terminology of this is a copy of that. Its a zombie flick! You either like it or you don't.
