VOD: Solar Impact - The Destruction Of London (dir: Craig Tudor/Tudley James, 2019)

"I'm not going back in there!"

Mixing the disaster and zombie genres, Solar Impact is a low-budget British film that sees a solar event rain destruction upon London and mutate most of the population into ravenous zombies.  Mixed is the key word here, from the wildly-varying quality of performances, effects and set-pieces to some inherent low-budget problems with lighting and ADR.  The melodramatic American-disaster-movie-style acting sits awkwardly with the realistic small-scale and plain British settings, but there is a real attempt to deliver something big here even if it falls short overall.
