Dead Set


As much as I love zombie films as much I hate big brother and trust me when I say "I LOVEEEEE ZOMBIES!!!". It was very surpsing to hear about the English show "Dead Set". A zombie tv show which takes places during athe big brother show. I had to see it whith my own eye's so last weekend I sat down and watched all five episodes in one row. This show had some scary intense stuff in it. Some pretty awesome gore. The first episode was great. It showed how this girl girl named Pippa lost the big brother round and was kicked out of the house. This Pippa is one stupid ignorant chick, I dont know if she played her part with true conviction or if she really was that stupid. The people in the Big Brother house were of the typical Big Brother kind. I really couldn't stand their ignorance, slefishness and stupidity. There my criticism about dead set lies. I couldn't relate to any of the characters. I found them all very annoying and irritating, the only one I liked was Riq played by Riz Ahmed, a sweet guy who moves heaven and earth to get to his girlfriend who works in the big brother studio. His girl who in the first episode cheats on him with a soon to become zombie guy.

The last episode was awesome. I could sit and enjoy how all the people who irritated me during the five episodes of dead set died horrible deaths. Limbs were thorn, blood splatted out every wound and the great looking zombies feasted of the flesh of the oh so stupid big brother crew. I was reliefd Riq simply got shot and died a rather peaceful death.

I had my fun with dead set but it was a shame the cast was over irritating. The movie would have been shocking if the above would have happend to sweet decent folk but then again we are taking big brother here and I have never seen a sympethatic character on that show. Taking that for grantege I can say it was an awesome cynical show putting the big brother show hanged out to dry... nicely done lads!
