It’s 2033 and Scotland has been devastated by a deadly plague, the survivors too busy fussing over their punk rock haircuts to form anything other than a savage, cannibalistic society. This is Neil Marshall’s tribute to 1980s exploitation movies, but he’s unable to offer anything more than pale imitation and jumble-sale thrills. — Phelim O’Neill
