Dead Set

[Miss Angry]

Im stupid i thought it was gonna be the kinda thing thats on once a week. So i have missed everything up until halfway through tonight!

It was gross but looked good, im a bit annoyed with myself for missing it now...

If anyone else has been watching and would like to tell me its shite id feel better...

[Simon Pieman]

Is this the big brother zombie thing? I haven't watched it mind.

Incidentally I finally got round to watching Saw and I also saw Saw II (rubbish pun intended) as they were both on the telly the other day. Can't understand why people thought Saw was so good, it's pretty average.

[yeo]

Its been alright,Zombie Davina is cool.

If you have Virgin Media its on the watch again thingy,its probably on the Channel 4 website 4OD thingy as well.

[Simon Pieman]

The term 4OD makes me think of Amy Winehouse.

[Miss Angry]

It was just advertised on the catch up thingy so i might try that cheers!

I saw Saw at the cinema never watched any of the others i didnt think it all that great either.

I think perhaps it's a case of low expectations if you know what i mean. Most horrors these days are thoughtless shit, so i personally expected it to be shit, but was surprised by the thought that went into it/them and therefore liked it/them..

Saw III has Bahar Soomekh in, the gorgeous Iranian thing out of Crash (who i actually thought was Meadow from the Sopranos), which makes it well worth watching.

Watched the first two, not the last two. It's alright, as mentioned before. And the lass above is very tasty.

I've been watching it. It's OK, and if you've missed parts they're doing the whole thing as one feature-length malarkey on E4 on Saturday.

I've yet to see Saw  (also intended and quite rubbish)

Dead set has been alright.

Cant really get away from the fact that its almost exatly the same as 28 days / weeks later but made for TV with big bro cameos though

Yup, although in the week of the Ross/Brand witch-hunt, a slew of mindless zombies baying for blood in a Big Brother setting has seemed somehow strangely apposite

Figured I'd have missed a thread about this whilst I was away. I thought it was awesome.

It did remind me a bit of 28 days/weeks, but only because it's the only real modern zombie film I've seen (well apart from Shaun of the Dead, which doesn't really count). I thought it had more of the classic zombie siege about it, lifted from countless other horror films I haven't seen since a mate used to bring them round on video when I was 12 and can't really remember. Doesn't dawn of the dead have them locked up in a shopping mall or something?

In fact, I get the impression the whole thing was just a parade of nods to various films, which I guess it's difficult not to do in a zombie piece. It was well done though. Don't know how it will stand up too one big watch, one at a time the 35min bits seemed a bit short. I might give it a go this morning. Maybe. After another cup of tea.

Jamie Winstone was the highlight ... pretty average altho Zombie Brian was funny

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Watched the whole thing on Saturday night. Was OK.
