Review of Devil's Playground (2010) by Kurt B — 07 Jan 2011

Another relatively low budget zombie film of 2010, this time it's an independent British film starring Danny Dyer most probably because of his recently decent performance in the "Dog House" in 2009. Everything in this movie is very bog standard of the genre, everyone gets infected because of the scientists messing things up and some poor souls have to fight their way to a helicopter or boat.

Other than the non adventures plot the movie doesn't step a foot wrong during the execution of the story and actually tries to offer some twists and turns to keep you interested. The graphics were very impressive for the budget, not Hollywood standard but the explosions and fires seen across London were very well blended.

The only thing that motivated me to watch this film was the fact it said Sean Pertwee was in the film, he is such a great actor and it is a pity he doesn't get more roles and unfortunately he probably won't get many starring roles now he's as bald as a plucked chicken, saying that he has a new movie coming out in 2011 called 4th Reich about Nazi zombies. Sean only makes two appearances in the movie but the second one is hilarious, he basically just leaves all his mates, runs past them and does an amazing jump straight into the driving seat of a speed boat and funks of down a river. He is never seen again but I presume he survives as the zombies hate water.
