Viewing Notes

You can really tell a movie’s cultural impact by the number of derivative films it spawns. Such is the case with Devil’s Playground which is obviously derivative of 28 Days Later. As is the case with most of the 28 Days Later wannabes, this one doesn’t hold up well.

It’s not that it’s terrible; it just plays like a BBC America version of a modern zombie film; nothing new, agonizingly slow pacing and mainly unlikeable characters, including the sneering Danny Dyer who, for some inexplicable reason, gets main billing here even though his character is secondary.

I’d recommend passing on this one.
