not in HD, fuck IFC. (at least its pillarboxed and not stretched) but still, the dvd version i assume is anamorphic

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

that was pretty damn good. my only gripe is that they are the "fast" zombies instead of the traditional slow ones. acting was good. the gore was good. :up:

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

I love zombie films and gore but I got bored by this and turned it off. I might give the marathon a shot though, IDK.

Still waiting for The Walking Dead though

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

My only disappointment was the SD image combined with the extrememly dark picture made following the action almost impossible at times. Liked the story so far though.

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

yeah it went into the 28 Days Later realm with the dead running - the fire extinguisher to the zombie head was very 'Irreversible'

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

I really liked this so far (1 episode in) and I am glad I am not the only one having issue with the dark picture.

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

man talk about frenetic, the camera work and editing is both brisk and spastic.

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

well since i got it cheap (and it'll fill my screen :D ), i opted to buy the british dvd and i'll just watch it straight through, as the IFC version is a mix of it being too dark and pilarboxed. Also, for those that are DVR'ing the series, part one cut off for me before the epsiode actually ended, so idk if itll be like that for the entire series

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

That was quite the happy ending. :lol:

Overall, the quality was pretty damn good. I enjoyed it.

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

^ I agree but that's kind of the norm for zombie films, either it's a downer or a vague, heroes go off into the sunset.

all in all, though I thought this series was a blast and obviousily alot faster paced than 'The Walking Dead' - Patrick's graphic demise was right out of 'Day of the Dead' - talk about insanely gory.

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

Thanks for the heads up Lemmy - ended up picking one up.

Not a horror fan at all, but enjoyed the hell out of the series on IFC.

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

I only caught 2 eps of this on cable at work but what I saw was pretty good.

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

Late to the party bump ... Now streaming on Netflix! I just tore through it this evening and enjoyed it. Plenty of gore and language (and some boobs) -- not sure if it aired that way!

BTW! If you haven't checked it out yet, The Walking Dead is still around. ;)

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

Haha. The Walking Dead came a long way since 2010. Neat to read some 'hey has anyone heard of this' stuff.

I'm watching this on Netflix right now (because of this thread). Never heard of it before. I want half of these dicks to die. But I'm sure that's what they were going for. Reality TV people are the worst.

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

I think I won this set from here or maybe I bought it, I don't know. Point is I have it but never got around to seeing it. Will correct that soon...

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

Surprised no reality TV shows copied this in the US. Good use of sets and promotion. And I'd get joy from seeing people on those trashy VH1 shows get ripped to bits.

Re: Dead Set (British zombie mayhem) on IFC
 

As a Big Brother fan, I'd LOVE to see a US adaption of this. Especially if they used actual former contestants (whichever ones can actually act), and have it set during a fictional returnee/All Stars season.
