Vibe in one line
Zone 2 apocalypse but you still pop to the corner shop first.
London energy
Crouch End / North London pub crawl where everything looks normal until you really look.
Perfect moment to watch
When work feels like a zombie shuffle and you’ve spent all day in Tesco meal deal lighting.
Standout scene
The Queen “Don’t Stop Me Now” pub fight, obviously, with pool cues as percussion instruments.
Soundtrack mood
Jukebox chaos; needle drops that feel like someone hijacked the aux in the best way.
Who to watch with
Your horror-nerd mate and that one friend who says they ‘don’t really like horror’ but actually loves this.
My nerdy note
The background extras are timed like choreography; it’s basically a musical where the dance numbers are just… people dying.
