Devil's Playground

 

Devil’s Playground (aka London Zombie Epidemic) 2010

• Director: Mark McQueen
• Based on the book: no
• Cast: Danny Dyer, Craig Fairbass, MyAnna Buring, Jaime Murray
• Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
• Jaime Murray – Hustle, The Taming of the Shrew Re-Told
• Why? The title. Who can resist that?

       Unfortunately that’s not the original title, which is more the boring Devil’s Playground. I hope there are zombies, anyway.

       Well, there are, sort of.  But it doesn’t help. It’s boring and there are too many blah characters to care about any of them.

       And here I sit, having looked forward all afternoon to a lovely zombie film in my beloved London.

       Ah well, I didn’t switch it off. I glanced at the whole thing while scrolling through FB. Mildly entertaining. But Cockneys vs Zombies is a lot more fun.

Shakespeare connection: Jaime Murray is in The Taming of the Shrew Re-Told.
