Britain has been emptied. There's nobody there. It's completely dead. And six months later the Americans arrive to reboot it back up again. But, of course, something goes wrong...

There's a plot twist early on which I didn't see coming although apparently some publicity gave it away but I must have missed that. I won't give it away here but I thought it was a nice touch. It's very grisly like the first one and loud. Basically it's an average low budget horror movie with an unusual location and added political metaphor but with the requisite gaps in logic and idiotic characters.
