This reviewer is in a critiquing mood and that is not a good thing for E1 Entertainment's zombie rip-off, the Devil's Playground. Have a look at the trailer and see if you can find one original element that you have not seen in several other zombie styled films. Even the soundtrack is borrowed from the Resident Evil franchise and listen closely to the end. That is one of several tracks from the 28 Days Later film that revitalized the genre. Nine years later and still no one is doing the genre better than Danny Boyle from 2001. As well, there is a rumour that this is a leaked trailer for the Devil's Playground and, seeing as there is no way to verify if the trailer is legit, it is below. The film is not even listed on the E1 Entertainment website, but that is no surprise as this site updates once every six months. The cartoony, paint by numbers Devil's Playground clip is below, which will not likely blow many people's socks off.
The synopsis for the film:
"As the world succumbs to a zombie apocalypse, Cole a hardened hit-man, is chasing the one person who can provide a cure. Not only to the plague but to Cole’s own incumbent destiny.
Devil's Playground is a cutting edge British horror film that features zombies portrayed by free runners for a terrifyingly authentic representation of the undead"(Trailer).

Director: Mark McQueen.
Writer: Bart Ruspoli.
