Dead Set looks sick!

Watched a couple of episodes tonight and they were very good. These are the "fast zombie" type, while the Walking Dead feature the more traditional "slow zombies."

Interesting contrasts.

Think I may rewatch that series before I start on The Walking Dead.

Glad you like it! It definitely sets a different tone than Walking Dead. With WD you feel as though you're watching a TV show (not that that's a bad thing) - you have a lot of character development and back story. With Dead Set, it's more of just a long movie (if that makes sense) - Not as much character development, faster paced, but still definitely enjoyable. I actually think the mini series is a really good vehicle because it allows you to do a longer movie in a way.

It is an interesting contrast - both shows are trying to do something different in terms of bringing zombies to television.

I'd be interested to see what you think of The Walking Dead - Have you read the comics?

I've read a few of them but not the series in it's entirety. Plan on getting up to speed with the first four episodes over the weekend so I'll let you know.

That's interesting because I would draw the parallels in exactly the opposite way. Dead Set seems more "TVish" to me because it's more over the top, the characterizations are broader, the script is cheesier... while Walking Dead seems more cinematic to me because of the higher production values, the better writing, more subtle acting, etc.

A very well done short film set in a small town diner that serves meals based on murderer's last meals. Clever, well directed, acting decent, good effects on a small budget.

Check it out!
