Watch Plan Z

Plan Z is a British horror movie directed by Stuart Brennan, featuring a post-apocalyptic zombie world with a twist. The film takes place in a small town in the UK where the undead have taken over and only a small group of survivors remains. The storyline follows the main protagonist, Craig, and his young daughter, Megan, who are forced to flee their home when the zombie outbreak begins. Along the way, they meet other survivors, Tim and Steven, who were once Craig's best friends. Together, they set out on a mission to save themselves and find a cure for the zombie virus.

However, things take a drastic turn when Craig discovers that his ex-girlfriend and mother to his child, Joanne, is hiding a secret. She has been experimenting with the zombie virus, hoping to find a cure that will bring back her deceased son. But the experiments have gone horribly wrong, and now the survivors are facing an even more significant threat than the horde of flesh-eating zombies outside.

The film's most notable twist lies in the portrayal of the zombies, who are unlike any other in horror cinema. These zombies have retained their memories and intelligence, making them far more dangerous than the traditional brainless zombie. The zombies in Plan Z, therefore, are not the typical slow-moving and decaying corpses we're used to seeing in zombie movies, but much more agile and strategic in their movements.

The movie builds up tension at the right moments, with the horror scenes carefully placed throughout the film. The director manages to keep viewers on edge throughout the movie, as the central focus shifts to the survivor's journey in finding the cure. But the director also makes sure the human drama is not overshadowed by the horror elements; the personal conflicts between the characters, especially between Craig and Joanne, add depth to the storyline.

The performance of the cast, particularly that of the main character played by Stuart Brennan, is noteworthy. Brennan's portrayal of a protective father trying to keep his daughter safe in a world gone mad, adds to the overall believability of the film. The characters' interactions and the evolution of their relationships throughout the film add a theme of hope, fear, and regret.

In terms of production values, the film is made on a shoestring budget, but the cinematography and sound design are impressive. The special effects aren't groundbreaking, but they are executed well enough. The use of practical effects adds an air of realism to the zombie scenes, making them much more frightening.

The film ends with a satisfying resolution that brings together the themes of sacrifice, hope, and morality. Plan Z stands out for its unique take on the zombie genre, impressive performances, and an entertaining storyline that manages to surprise and engage its viewers.

Plan Z is a 2017 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.9.
