Writer/director Neil Marshall earned the respect of horror devotees with his first two features, DOG SOLDIERS and THE DESCENT, refreshing and scary twists on the werewolf and expedition-gone- wrong genres. Where those works exemplified a respect for pure horror, devoid of the tension-spoiling comedy that infects most fright films, DOOMSDAY is Marshall's love letter to the post- apocalyptic action-exploitation films of the 1980s. Bubbling over with action, gore, and dark humor, his third film has all the bases covered for a fun, knowingly corny viewing experience.

Reviews:
Doomsday is the villain who killed Superman way back in1993. This movie has nothing whatsoever to do with him. Just dropping some knowledge on y'all. Actually, director Neil Marshall is the man behind 2005 sleeper horror hit The Descent, so we're surprised that Doomsday'"about a brutal, widespread virus and resulting walled-in quarantine à la Escape From New York'"didn't get more love from genre freaks in theaters.
