The breakdown: The most realistic zombie tale you will ever see.
I love this movie for it's realism. You will not find a better zombie flick. At the very beginning these animal activists release what they think are harmless chimps from a research facility in the middle of the night in England. What they don't know is that these animals have been experiments of a lab trying to make super soldiers infected with rage.
Later we see Cillian Murphy waking up in a hospital bed with his head shaved. He was in a coma and has no idea why the hospital is completely deserted. He roams the streets and realizes all of London is vacant. He spends the rest of the movie finding other survivors and trying to stay alive and uninfected.
I don't want to ruin it for you because it's soooooo good and you should see it!
I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5 for being low budget, but exceptionally brilliant.
