5. Dead Set (2008)
Back yet? Moving on, unlike the other films on this list, Dead Set is technically a miniseries, but all together it runs for a total of 141 minutes as a DVD release, so you can watch it all like one longer film. Dead Set is actually from the same production group that Big Brother U.K. is from, and because of this, the film is set within the Big Brother U.K. house and even features real life television personalities playing themselves. Im not from the U.K. though, so that aspect of the film was lost on me, but ultimately it doesnt hamper your enjoyment of it. Being a TV miniseries, it features a large cast, giving you a somewhat broader look at the zombie apocalypse than normal, and it also allows the film to play around more with its genre. Over-all, many of the characters are fairly likable; the main storyline within the Big Brother house is much more comedic than the one set outside, which goes for a bit more realism and some traditional zombie apocalypse scares. Despite its length, Dead Set doesnt become tiresome, and the variety of characters and situations keep it feeling fresh throughout its running time.
