Storyline

It's eviction night at the Big Brother house, but something very strange is happening; the dead are coming alive and attacking the living. When zombies attack all of the audience outside, the Big Brother contestants are unaware of the death outside the fan-proof (and zombie-proof) big brother house until the show's runner, Kelly, comes into the house and warns them of the doom outside. Stuck with even less contact with the outside world, the house-mates must sneak out of the house to get supplies, without being seen by the zombies.

User Reviews

A proper zombie flick.

Zombie films are notoriously bad with bad scrip, bad acting and bad special effects!!

Not so "Dead Set".

Without ruining the film,

Its got a great witty scripted. Top notch acting and super gory effects.

It is genuinely scary and suspenseful.

A must see for any zombie fan, your viewing will be changed.
