Episode 186: Zombie Invasion (2004)

Not a lot is written about this 2004 movie for a reason. The cast and crew appear nowhere online in headshot form for a reason.

Conceptually it is an ok premise. The hadron collider has an unexpected dump of radiation. A team led by the chief scientist is heading down into it and 4 twenty something junior scientists volunteer to monitor it for the weekend. The radiation causes the research team to turn into zombies, and the volunteers need to escape the tunnels of the institute whilst malevolent forces from outside hamper their escape.

What do we get? 4 awful British actors walking tunnels slowly. They are jumped from nowhere by a zombie, fight it off. Run around the corner, then start to walks really slowly again. Repeat and rinse.

There is one decent scene/shot.

And the highlight was when one of the characters asking "did you get through to anyone?" and the subtitles stating "3 2 1".

Could have been done well but wasn't. Had a Cornetto in the freezer as a nod to Shaun of the Dead and some very loose 28 Days Later music at some point. But, all in all, this was a very poor effort deserving of it's 2/10 score
