The story opens up where a couple is secluded in their house without electricity, and by their conversation you know some sort of catastrophe has happened. This movie is shot in cinema verite, meaning a guy is going around with a video camera, and you're seeing what he's shooting in "real time". It gives the viewer a "You Are There" feeling.
We then flip directly to a military establishment that is being decimated by zombies. A few troops manage to escape, and they head for the coast where they hope to catch the last boat out of the UK for Amsterdam, where survivors are gathering to wait out the infestation over the winter. Along the way the troops encounter survivalists who turn out to be more dangerous than the undead.
This film was a pleasant surprise. Plus the ending gave it a nice twist. The gore is plenty, although not as graphic as anything by Romero. But the threat felt real, and the story was entertaining. Which is why my recommendation is
