    • Trivia
      This was Director Gareth Carrivick's final production. He died of leukemia the 16th of March 2010, less than a year after the movie was released in the UK.
    • Goofs
      After Pete calls Ray and Toby in to the beer garden to look at the painting, a crew member can be seen as Toby is emerging from the pub.
    • Quotes

      Ray: Little bit weird, but ummm... turns out everybody in the future, American.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: After the end credits have finished, a 20 second scene features Toby (Dean Wootton) being chased by an animalistic double. As Ray (Chris O'Dowd) and Pete (Dean Lennox Kelly) look on, a double of Pete says "this is all getting a little bit too complicated."

    Shaun of the Dead - But with Time Travel
    Okay, so the acting isn't the best. Neither are the special effects. Despite this, I've been thoroughly entertained and captivated for the entirety of the last 80 minutes by an excellent plot that keeps you on your toes, genuinely excellent humour and enough confusion to keep you thinking but not to frustrate.

    Unexpected twists are everywhere, but the great thing about them is that they all make sense when the movie is over, which is something some of the more recent Hollywood Sci-Fi's could take note of. It's actually a shame that one of the independent distributors with a bit more cash to burn didn't get hold of the script, I honestly think this could have been a box-office success with the right marketing.

    This won't be winning any Oscars in the near future, but let's be honest; who gives a damn?
