I’m not sure how I missed Plan Z when it came out, but I’m not sure if it was widely advertised here in the states as it is based in the British Isles. Plan Z is exactly what a good, low budget zombie movie should be. The main character, Craig, travels and his work as a photographer gives him contacts that are able to warn him when bad things are coming.
That warning saves him when the zombie virus turns the populace into hungry hordes.
Craig holes up in his apartment as others try and run, and are eaten alive. He only decides to leave when one of his friends calls him, begging for help. He manages to save his friend Bill,
The first half hour of the movie is perfect. It it exactly what a zombie movie should be, nothing but zombies and survival.
I liked the touch that they begin their escape plan on day 28, paying homage to one of the greats, 28 Days Later.
The plot jumps a bit after that, but the movie stayed mostly true to itself. There are a few scenes of over acting, but overall this is a good Zombie Movie that was enjoyable to watch. The low budget cost it some points, as well as some of the acting and the plot jumps, but don’t let the 78/100 keep you away from this film. It is well worth a watch.
