Dead Set

I have never been a fan of “reality” tv, watching “celebrities” or citizens mooch about doing whatever holds the allure of staring at paint waiting for it to dry.

The show Big Brother is reckoned by some to be the pinnacle of the genre and I know some people who are huge fans but it does nothing for me, never watched a complete episode but it is hard to escape the media hype which surrounds it in print or on the radio.

However when I read about Dead Set the concept had me hooked from the outset, a zombie outbreak occurs and the only people initially safe are the residents of the Big Brother house. Have always been a fan of zombie flicks and this show did not disappoint, crazed zombies running around attacking “normals” and only being stopped by the traditional shot/blow to the head.

There are also some funny side swipes at the whole BB set-up, here is the E4 trailer. Out now on DVD and well worth a watch – if you like watching zombies running riot.
