Plot Synopsis
Storyline
A lethal virus spreads throughout the British isles,infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands. To contain the threat, acting authorities brutally quarantine the country as it succumbs to fear and chaos. The quarantine is successful. Three decades later, the Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, including Eden Sinclair, is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare. Written by Nicolettea

Kane: Like so many epidemics before, the loss of so many lives began with a single microscopic organism. It's human nature to seek even the smallest comfort in reason, or logic for events as catastrophic as these. But a virus doesn't choose a time or place. It doesn't hate or even care. It just happens.

Trivia
Two DDS soldiers sent into Scotland are named "Miller" and "Carpenter". George Miller directed the "Mad Max" trilogy and John Carpenter directed Escape from New York and Escape from L.A., all heavily influential to this film. See more »Goofs
During the Bentley chase scene (supposedly in Scotland) the road markings - central dashed line with a solid line on both sides - are South African road markings indicating no crossing. In Scotland there would be no dashed line, just the two solid lines. During the same scene the road edge markings - yellow line - are South African. In Scotland they would be white. See more »Quotes

OK, I'm not claiming its good but it is serious fun. It is basically a mix of the Mad Max films in Scotland but also throw in some scenes from 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, LOTR and Braveheart.
If you can imagine that then you'll have a pretty good idea what to expect - no, I didn't think you could.
It does just massively rip off all the above but as I said, I'm not claiming its good, just a lot of fun.
Added bonus is the great music choices which just add to the fun - "Good Tning" by FYC when the main lunatic introduces himself to the crowd and "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood for the big car chase.
Not gonna win an Oscar but a hell of a ride.
