Doomsday

2008 · 108 min

A grimy, fast-paced survival romp through a quarantined wasteland, mixing brutal fights with a grimly pulpy atmosphere.

Tagline
Mankind has an expiration date.
Overview
The lethal Reaper virus spreads throughout Britain—infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands. Authorities brutally and successfully quarantine the country but, three decades later, the virus resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.
