28 years after civilisation collapsed in Great Britain, a few hundred survivors have made a decent life for themselves on Lindisfarne where they can protect themselves from The Infected. When Spike reaches the age of 12, his father takes him to the mainland to practise his archery skills on the zombies. Spike's mother is seriously ill but the island has no doctor to diagnose her. When Spike learns that a doctor lives on the mainland he is determined to take his mother to see him. His father says the doctor has long since gone insane Zombies are not everyone's cup of tea but this is fine film: the cinematography is superb, as are the special effects. At around 110 minutes, Danny Boyle hasn't stretched it out and tells his story clearly and concisely. Characters are precisely drawn and there are even a few moments of comedy. The boy playing Spike is impeccable. Highly recommended. |
