Film Inspirations

These are some of the films/Televsion shows which was the main inspiration for our film:

28 Days Later by Danny Boyle


28 Days Later is a British horror film released in 2002 which tells the story of an incurable virus that sweeps through the population, and a small band of survivors who try to reach safety.
It was written by Alex Garland and directed by Danny Boyle - also famous for directing Train spotting (1996) and Slumdog Millionaire (2008).
The cast included relative unknowns Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris and Megan Burns in leading roles alongside well-known character actors Brendan Gleeson and Christopher Eccleston.

Night Of The Living Dead by George Romero



When unexpected radiation raises the dead, a microcosm of Average America has to battle flesh-eating zombies in George A. Romero's (1968) landmark cheapie horror film. Siblings Johnny (Russ Streiner) and Barbara (Judith O'Dea) whine and pout their way through a graveside visit in a small Pennsylvania town, but it all takes a turn for the worse when a zombie kills Johnny. Barbara flees to an isolated farmhouse where a group of people are already holed up. Bickering and panic ensue as the group tries to figure out how best to escape, while hoards of undead converge on the house; news reports reveal that fire wards them off, while a local sheriff-led posse discovers that if you "kill the brain, you kill the ghoul." After a night of immolation and parricide, one survivor is left in the house....

The Road by John Hillcoat



A father (Viggo Mortensen) and son make their way across a post-apocalyptic United States in hopes of finding civilization amongst the nomadic cannibal tribes in 2929 Productions' adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's thrilling Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road. John Hillcoat (The Proposition) directs from a screenplay provided by Joe Penhall. Charlize Theron co-stars in the Dimension Films release. (2009)
