Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) holds vicious marauder Viper (Leanne Liebenberg) at knifepoint
Rogue Pictures just released the first official photo from Neil Marshall’s upcoming thriller Doomsday. Many of you may remember Marshall as the guy who made a pretty sweet horror film released last year called The Descent. As always, click on the images to enlarge. Also, below is the film’s official plot synopsis:
In the action-packed new thriller from writer/director Neil Marshall (”The Descent”), authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades – until the dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra), is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.
Cast: Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, Malcolm McDowell, Alexander Siddig, Adrian Lester

This isn’t a zombie flic. If you get the virus, you die slowly and painfully, and thats it, no living dead. Its the survivors you have to watch out for. They’re anything but slow and dumb, rather quick and pretty violent.

I enjoyed the movie loved the stunts and the action STUNT MAN!!!!
But what I gotta know is what kind of car was it that she pulled out that crate and where do I get one?

28 DAYS LATER FILMS DO NOT HAVE ZOMBIES IN THEM. THEY ARE NOT UNDEAD. Damn why can’t people understand that? And why are those movies hailed as being so good in the first place?

Okay I do not believe the virus victims in the 28 Days Film were Zombies. They are not undead. Seems like alot of people misunderstand that bit.
Now I don’t expect Doomsday to be great cinema but I would compare it more to the Mad Max Trilogy than anything else. I’m sure it will feature many things we have seen before, but then again what movie made nowadays doesn’t? I’ll probably rent it and watch it and be sufficiently distracted for awhile nonetheless. That is about as much as I hope from any movie produced lately.
