Product Description
As the last autumn leaves slowly peel away from the trees, a mysterious airborne virus ravages the planet, and within a few hours billions die. Victims suffer horrific deaths as their internal organs liquefy, and whole towns expire within minutes. Soon cities become infested breeding grounds for the new apocalyptic virus. By the end of the first day there are only a handful of survivors.
A small group of ordinary strangers are soon forced to work together to stay alive. The survivors are lead by Michael (Dexter Fletcher Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Doom) a lonely soft ware consultant, and Carl (Dickon Tolson Peak Practice, Eastenders) an ill-tempered mechanic. When Michael and the survivors escape from the infested city to an isolated country house, they discover the real horror has only begun!
When the dead start to gruesomely reanimate the group have naive hopes that the walkers, or the meat suites, would decompose and simply fall apart but they discover the longer the reanimated corpses are alive the more they learn, the cleverer they get, the more aggressive and treacherous they become the more they became killing machines.
When Phillip Evans (David Carradine Kill Bill, Kung Fu) is discovered as a lone survivor in the lifeless city, a new hope emerges, but nothing is as it seems in a world turned upside down, and hope soon turns into terror. In order to endure the winter each survivor must find the strength within themselves to fight their personal demons and find the courage to combat a war against the vicious dead.
What follows is a shockingly clever adventure of survival, in a thrilling desolate world. This Autumn, the darkness will come!

I've read the books and found them very enjoyable.
So is the film.
The budget was low but I think that the director did a pretty good job.
The story is convincing, there's an oppressing anguish that doesn't leave you till the end and that's how an horror movie should be.
I'm not convinced about two things though: first I don't get the role of D. Carradine, not only of the actor but more precisely of the character, it doesn't make very much sense and second the end is a little bit too rushed.
Otherwise I would have rated it 5 stars.

I was delighted at how faithful this movie is to the book written by David Moody, also the author of Hater. Having seen early trailers which didn't look very good I had low expectations. The cast is made up of no frills actors who do a very able job; Dexter Fletcher really is a superb actor (you may remember him from Press Gang) and plays his character with sincerity. This is a very typical zombie story which follows a group of survivors - nothing new there, I know - but Autumn is not gung-ho like many of its peers. It is not full of macho, zombie slaying gore but is more of a human survival tale - I guess it's best described as a zombie drama.

I bought this film based on the high ratings from other people. What a mistake. Awful film. It wasn't the low budget or the camera man testing out what his camera could do or the dull story that let this film down, it was much more than that. Like watching a 1970 made for canadian TV movie, only worse. If your idea of a good zombie movie is 'Dawn of the dead' or '28 days later' stay well clear of this. If i could give this no stars i would.

Having this film in your house will lower your house price
I bought this film because it was cheap and I used to believe that no matter how cheap a zombie film was, it couldn't be bad. Read more

Awful Zombie Movie
Do not buy this. Absolutly abysmal. It has to be the most boring zombie movie ever. I turned it off before it was over and quetioned my sanity for purchasing it. Crap.

Not worth buying AT ALL!
What a load of rubbish. The picture is bad, sound is bad, and lighting (when in dark) is awful. Looks like a good film from the cover of the dvd but it really isn't. Read more

boring
Yawned my way through the first 15 minutes. You didn't really care about the characters, because none had been introduced. Read more

hmmm you might get the drift of my opinion about this 'work' so I'll keep it minimal and concise; it doesn't work as a zombie film, it doesn't even work as a film! Read more

Good idea, but ruined by poor attempts at clever camara angles.
A good plot with some novel ideas, ruined by poor camara angles. This film had so much potential but ended up looking like an art student's end of year project.

Not a glossy Usa production
Not the usual better budget zombie movie. This movie has the most ordinary people you've ever seen having to cope with a 'god-damn zombie apocalypse' in Britain. Read more

I enjoyed this film immensely but am unsure quite why! Were it not for the likes of David Carradine and Dextor Fletcher i would have assumed it to be a particularly successful... Read more
