I love this movie so much

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This has been released as a movie, but Dead Set was a three-part TV show when it launched in England in 2008. This is a brilliant take on the zombie trope- setting it in the fictional world of reality Television big brother. The contestants are unaware that a mayhem has broken loose in the outside world and one by one they fall prey- which is fun to watch. The concept of the characters being unaware of an outbreak and being taken out by surprise is something not seen before. I suggest you give this one a chance if you like zombies. This is quite different than anything out there.

DEAD SET is a TV horror from writer and journalist Charlie Brooker, positing a zombie outbreak at the same time a group of residents are living in the BIG BROTHER house. It sounds like a decent premise and it is, but I was slightly disappointed by the execution which is routine rather than electrifying.Brooker is well known for his satirical works so there's plenty of social commentary here about fame in the modern world, alongside swipes at BIG BROTHER itself. The zombie stuff is less impressive and rather straightforward, although it's also very gory to make up for deficiencies in the scripting. And the shouty, sweary script really is tiresome and predictable, failing to give any of the characters any kind of choice dialogue.It's a pity that the script is below par, because there are some impressive faces here: the reliable old-timer Kevin Eldon continues to do well, and Riz Ahmed's in it too. And it's hard to resist a show in which Davina McCall gets her just desserts. But in the end, other than the premise, I didn't find DEAD SET to be particularly engaging or memorable, just mean-spirited throughout.

Although I'm fan of Big Brother, I have only just got round to watching Dead Set. I love the idea around this mini series and it turned out to be a great watch.The characters were likable and portrayed well, they was like proper housemates. Having Davina as the host also made it feel more real. The plot was great and progressed at a nice pace, leaving you wanting more after every episode had finished. This action was extremely fast paced and gory, there was also quite a lot of humour which I liked, it was just a good solid drama series in general. Jaime Winstone who played Kelly really stole the show, she was great.It was kept short and sweet with just 5 episodes, 4 of which were only 25 minutes. The set looked great and the zombies were very detailed. The action was thick and fast.The way it all ended might not be everyone's favourite but for me that was inevitable. Overall an extremely good series, better than I thought it would be. Would recommend it to anyone, although it isn't that scary.9/10.

Or how about "Big Dead Brother is eating you"? There are quite a few lines you can come up with, with a premise like that. And for a TV show it is pretty graphic in its depiction of violence and blood (not for the squeamish then). The premise is more than nice, actually intriguing. The fact the undead are running might put you off (depending on your liking, I do like the slow ones myself), but give it a try, it's not that long (just over 2 hours).While effects and make-up are great, you couldn't do it without the acting talent. Andy Nyman is on great form as the main "human" villain in this piece. Of course, as he also states in interviews in the bonus material, his character doesn't see himself as the bad guy. And some might like him the best. He definitely stirs things up. Decent and good effort then.
