Directed by the same guy that did Dog Soldiers, it's set in a near future Scotland that has been quarantined from the rest of the UK following the outbreak of a deadly virus.

It has homages to several post apoc films - most noticeably the Mad Max films and Escape from New York (the lead character, who is female, has a Snake Plisken style eyepatch) and is enjoyable enough if you don't take it too seriously.

Dog Soldiers was a lot better than Doomsday in my oppinion. How building a new Hadrians Wall and letting Scotland collapse into anarchy would stop an epidemic is anyones guess. All the Scottish nationalists must have loved watching England abandon them and saving themselves. I mean its not like Scotland is a remote island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with no air or seaports. The Scottish cannibals were good however!
