An unknown dustfall turns ordinary people into voracious insatiable killers (more like the Rage victims of 28 Days Later than typical zombies) - so far, so generic. What this neat little movie does is keep the locale tight and focus in on one protagonist (initially) to explore not only what it means to survive but also face the practicalities of an ongoing breakdown of society: what happens when utilities fail, when food and water start running out, when you are faced with isolation and loneliness? With an intriguing air of melancholy and reflection, punctuated by punchy and well-staged action sequences, the ultimate resolution is never obvious, but this timely tale features an engaging and sympathetic central performance with an ending worth waiting for in a well-crafted and enjoyable film.
