And I have one bit of critique: why deleted some gore? Cut the body in pieces and Patrick tear apart.. I think that is the best part! Why cut this off? Seen the deleted scenes. And I have one bit of critique:
why deleted some gore?
Cut the body in pieces and Patrick tear apart.. I think that is the best part! Why cut this off?

Thank God you cut the most of the annoying opening scenes in the Big Brothers house! And Kuddo's for every second you cut off from Pippa! And the stupid annoying egg scene! But I must say, some deletions was really not neccesary. For example, talking about things what are gone (amazone, facebook etc). I thought that was funny. But especially the waking up and the discovering the camera's is not working. I thought that was a intresting scene, Why delete this? But I am glad with this, with this edit, there is one more good zombie flick, instead of a television serial. On this moment, I am busy to make the Dutch subtitles, which I will distribute. Same I did with Mall Hours cut. Great edit!

It's an interesting curio very well edited (I didn't notice any jump cuts or anything out of place). However I must confess I missed the jokes which actually made this production work for me so I will stick with the original set but thanks for doing it as it does provide an alternative take on the material (just one that wasn't to my taste). I must confess it's a bit bizarre to read so many people saying that haven't seen or heard of the original version but saw your edit first (I do hope they did the right thing and got hold of the original).

This was truly great entertainment. The zombie action starts just a few minutes into the movie and the next 90 minutes just flew by since it really sucked me in. I also thought that the reunion subplot was great as well. It's not common to have a love story in the midst of a zombie movie. 10/10 One of the best zombie movies I have ever seen.

Though I haven't seen the british TV one this is a beautiful horror movie in chapters, with good refined characters and... rhythm. Thank you Fanedit I had this first.

Very profesional! This was far superior to the original and it really should have been shown like this. I kinda had the same ideas when it was originally aired and I'm glad you took the initiative and time to create this. I know it must have been hard work and very time consuming but my only critique would be in the picture quality. On the most part it's great but there's quite a few scenes where solid colour backdrops have quite a bit of banding and macroblocking. I'm a big zombie movie fan and this FanEdit beats any Brit zombie flick hands down! It now films more cinematic and less made for TV. Very nice work and a much deserved FanEdit award! Oly Hi CBB,

So, Boon has cut this down to regular movie bitesize and thanksfully, thankfully removed the most irritating bits. No more Patrick taking a sh*t or having pointless conversations with the Scottish bird. Good. We don't get the housemates talking random shite either. Boon has firmly placed the focus on Kelly and made her the central protagonist. We don't even see the housemates now until Kelly makes her existence known to them - this keeps the focus on Kelly and makes it less of a Big Brother parody. Removal of Patrick's weaker scenes do all the more to strengthen his character, so well done. Although my friend was chirping in the occasional - 'I think there was a scene cut there', this was no reflection on a harsh edit or a notable edit. He was recalling scenes that were missing and then we commented on how Boon was probably correct for removing them and has objective - because, the edit was perfectly seemless, there was no harsh audio or visual edits. This ran very smoothly. Our only gripe with this was the picture. On my 26" Acer flatscreen, the picture looked very washed out and looked like it had been brightened too much. The blacks were not true black, they were gray. Sound quality was good however. All in all, we were both very satisfied that Boon had constructed a cool, serious and well edited version of this series. My friend commented that he would buy Dead Set, but keep Boon's edit inside it - "As he'd probably only ever watch that one anyway!" I'll give this 4.5/5 here, but 5 on the star-o-meter - it's just the picture that's not so good. But all in all Boon - another successful flick!
