Writer/ Director Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers and Descent) takes us into apolcolyptic Britain, where all of Scotland is zoned off to protect the rest of the world from the deadly reaper virus. The virus is contained safely, civilization moves on. That is untill...the virus returns.
Edna Sinclair (Rhona Mitra), captain of a specialist government group, is sent to quarentined Scotland to retrieve a cure for the deathly virus. Whilst there she embarks on a personal journey of discovery, to gain answers to a past she cannot escape.
The film is fast-paced and full of gory action. Scotland has become a nightmare land, filled with the savage descendants of those locked within the city walls. Scotland may have found the cure to the dreaded Reaper Virus, but they have also formed a new, brutal, blood thirsty civilisation.
Edna Sinclair must lead her team through the war filled streets of old Scotland, but will she manage to find the cure in time?
I thought this film was typical of sci-fi apocolyptic movies with a unique brit twist. Not fantastic but definately worth a watch.
