On paper, the premise is a promising one compared to the horror B-movie norm: three directors showing three different perspectives of events. This largely turns out to be false advertising, however: no Rashomon, this. The three perspectives only consist of following a different character in each segment: there's no actual uncertainty as to the reality of the situation, and what we're left with is a fairly bog-standard variation on the survival-zombie epidemic genre, with TV and radio signals turning the populace psychotic. There's an attempt at wringing gallows humour out of the splatter, but it's leaden-footed fare.
4/10
