The first thing I would like to say is that I fully understand that this was a low-budget horror movie costing only about £50,000 to produce. So I suppose it's unrealistic to expect too much from it. That said I was perfectly willing to make allowances here and there. Surprisingly, unlike many low-budget features the acting in this particular movie was pretty good with both Robin Askwith (as "Jason Jones") and Vanessa Shaw ("Judy Peters") certainly holding their own. Unfortunately, I must also add that there were quite a few dull scenes here and there and it was difficult for me to maintain interest past the first 30 minutes or so. Not only that but it also seemed like the scenario where Jason was caught, beaten and put into a cell was played out one time too many. Same thing with Judy being sedated. In any case, I suppose it's a border-line "Pre-Romero" type of zombie film and just marginally worth adding to any zombie enthusiast's collection. Not great by any means--but not terribly bad either. Accordingly, I rate it as only slightly below average.
