As the world succumbs to a zombie apocalypse, Cole a hardened
mercenary, is chasing the one person who can provide a cure. Not only
to the plague but to Cole's own incumbent destiny. DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND
is a cutting edge British horror film that features zombies portrayed
by free runners for a terrifyingly authentic representation of the
undead."Devil's Playground" is basically a complete rip-off of Danny Boyle's
2002 horror masterpiece "28 Days Later". Same basic concept;
fast-moving infected (not actually zombies as such)on the loose in
modern day London and a group of individuals trying to escape the
horror, fighting amongst themselves on the way. The one thing it
doesn't borrow from it's source material is any level of intelligence.
The characters are melodramatic clichés and way too good-looking and
well-groomed to be in any way realistic; even though it's a low-budget
British film it unfortunately follows the crap Hollywood template of
shallow, unbelievable, glamorous leads stuck in an increasingly
over-the-top set of action-based scenarios. Still, if you just want to
watch something empty-headed and fun then it's not all bad. The stunt
sequences are well done and the movie is nicely shot, with some
fantastic views of London on display. Don't take it too seriously and
you'll have a good time.
