I like that review. I have to say that at least this movie looks okay, considering its budget and the experience of the filmmakers.

BTW, Diamanda looks good as a blonde.

Well, it's certainly no Bone of Scone, but it was fairly entertaining at least.

Oh and *ahem* GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY THEY KILLED HIM. AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!"

What is that a clip from?

Reminds me of a British Isles version of Automaton Transfusion (which they made for about $10,000 Amercian... thus, cheaper than this film, if you can believe it). It's fast zombies done really cheap. I didn't like that movie, either. Word of advice to aspiring zombie filmmakers: you still need a story for me to want to give a damn.

Also, I'd like to say that Hagan does evil far better than me. I have no minion army, though I would like one for my birthday... though no one ever remembers it.

Quick thought:

- 23:28 Did they crib sound effects from Left 4 Dead, or did you add that effect? That makes me want to go play that game instead of watching this... thing.

- Wait, they just cribbed the ending to Night Of The Living Dead?! That's it, I'm outta here.

heh, i added that.

My favourite review - yay! I love the random freerunning.

You know, you'd think the Orange meeting would have some guns, especially on that day.

Also, I can't help but think that the hoodies might have actually stood a chance against the zombies, making them a potential odd couple ally for the main trio (hilarity due to ensue. Though a better odd couple survival horror allience would be between a catholic and a protestant). Also, the guy who got bricked in the head was probably meant to be a neo-nazi, so I'm not grieving.

Anyway, even for all the running and wooden acting, it seems like an interesting enough movie.

The Zombies seems to have something against the Orange order.

Dig the dry humor!

Excellent!

I have been waiting for this review to be on here for months! WOOOOOOT! I am so happy! :D

lol, despite what Hagan says about North Irish people free-running, they would probably outrun me. I don't run very fast if at all due to my short legs and would probably end up the first course for a zombie dinner.

It looks actually better with Benny Hill music. What's the tittle of the song from the end? I mean before credits in white fog.
With words "I'll be gone" or something like that.

01.29.2012 - 09:17 | DiamandaHagan

take on me by a-ha. famous for its music video mostl.

01.30.2012 - 12:45 | The_Awesometeer

I love take on me by a-ha

01.29.2012 - 08:46 | Timekeeper

Phelous also used this song in his Pulse 3 review.

01.29.2012 - 11:19 | 12th

Wow, I've got nothing to say about this, but I will say that I am really looking forward to your review of "Exorcist: The Beginning"; particularly since I saw both versions so I'll be interested in how you come at the film.

01.29.2012 - 11:26 | MikeKz

It's on her blip.tv page. I just watched it and it was really good. These reviews being posted on TGWTG are at least a few months old, if not more.

01.29.2012 - 13:27 | ladydiskette

I saw it on Blip too.

I hope she puts it on here soon :)

Okay question: How is it the hoodies are the only ones (next to the three main characters) not getting attacked and eaten by the zombies while almost half of Northern Ireland is getting messily devoured?

01.29.2012 - 17:04 | DiamandaHagan

Because of the reason

01.29.2012 - 11:32 | Moon Spirit

Man, Irish dialogue. I guess Brad Pitt had it down right when he was in Snatch. Other than that, loved the review.

But oh god, next is Exorcist: The Beginning? Can't wait for that one!

01.29.2012 - 13:52 | FullofQuestions

Wait, I thought you WERE from Belfast. As a dumb American, I couldn't place your accent, and I'd read on TV Tropes that you're from Northern Ireland.

But all Irish accents are hard for me to understand. I've gotten used to yours, but I had to watch The Magdalene Sisters with subtitles, and I have to have the lyrics on paper if I ever decide to listen to Christy Moore. U2 are somehow understandable to me, though.

01.29.2012 - 14:14 | DiamandaHagan

Ah but I'm not! Im from about 70 miles away from Belfast.

The shot of Film Brain breaking down almost made me spew milk out my nose...

01.29.2012 - 20:59 | crackmonster99

Oh the things I'd do and people I'd off just to become a minion.

01.29.2012 - 21:00 | Dimbo_Sama

Get it!?! Cause Battle of the Bone! Sounds like Battle of the Boyne!

GET IT!??!!?

Oh god this is going to hurt isn't it?

01.29.2012 - 21:35 | Orpheus of the Darkness

You just gotta love the "realistic" weapons, the good timing of the sound effects and the voice overs. Gotta say you have good taste on nostalgic music and shows (The Racoons still rule ;) )

01.30.2012 - 11:41 | Pdr

Every chase scene should use the Benny Hill chase song.

01.30.2012 - 22:57 | Kayna

You know, I never got the issue with understanding accents. Maybe you just kept to the most intelligible bits of dialogue in your clips but it was all perfectly clear to me. I've had that experience with most things that people say are hard to understand through the accent. Maybe I'm just awesome that way?

Anyway, another great review. I love both of your Exorcist prequel reviews and I can't wait to see them up here.

Using the clip of the never ending Atheists from Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter... how I love it.

Until the end I was almost believing this was an Irish Godfrey Ho film. However I do agree that independent films like this should be supported, so I guess it goes on my list of movies to find.
