In the future, death row criminals are given a chance to gain a pardon, on a "survivor" style reality show, only to find the island is full of zombie ex-contestants. (It's as bad as it sounds)

Reality TV is something I wish would go away, but likely it's not. Doomed is about Survival Island 2020, where contestants go to battle zombies. Could anything go wrong? Think Jurassic Park - didn't something go wrong in every single movie? Well part of what's wrong with this is directing, acting, budget, special effects. There are only two kinds of zombie movies: Good and Bad. Bad is what this is.
my girlfriend bought it from Tesco fro a pound and what monstrously bad film it is. i think i could make a better film with a budget of 50p, i mean come on you can See down the barrel of the sawed off shotgun and can see the person holding it at the other end and the Katana sword is under the "super zombie's" arm towards the film. I've seen better acting in a child's nativity play, the same group of people are used for every zombie attack scene, and even then their wearing Halloween masks. but I'm glad i got it because i can truly say i have seen the worst film in cinema history.
I am not a "Survivor" fan. I find all those game boring. But, come up with a "Survivor" episode where you have to escape a bunch of zombies to win the prize, and I'll be glued to the set.Forget the story here, what there is of it has so many holes it looks like Swiss cheese, and the dialog is rehashed from other low budget films.In fact, halfway through a hot girl called looking for a shoulder to cry on and I muted the sound and read the subtitles while we talked. I guess everyone else was out partying, and I was the only one left. I didn't miss a thing. That's how heavy this was.Bottom line, the only person in this film with any experience was Mary Christina Brown. But the fact that there was no nudity, and no gore made this one zombie film to pass on - even if you see it free.
Presented in the form of a game show (Think The Running Man or Survivor - Series 7, but not a good as either one) you have Doomed.It's cast are all no-namers and that should be the huge give-away right there. It takes ideas from films like Fortress, Resident Evil, Dawn Of The Dead and manages to make a pretty bad film.It's pretty low budget or looks that way.Teams of convicts are paired together (yep, that'll be stolen from Fortress then) and are told they must make it across the island alive to win the prize. (Hmm, sounds just like Battle Royale actually) But they have unknown objects in their way (like Zombies, how predictable. George Romero must be laughing at the idea) and of course are fighting amongst themselves and each other.To be honest the plot is pretty thin and laughable. None of the tension or scares actually work. Finding zombies or failed military experiments in a forgotten bunker has been done in all sorts of things (Lost would be the most recent) and it really wasn't done all that different here.I got the feeling the writer had played the game Smash TV as a child (the game ideas are very alike) and had seen the Day Of The Dead remake (that's where he stole his crap and predictable from a mile away ending).Because the cast are all complete unknowns, you know most of them are going to die anyway.This is tired, predictable and adds nothing to the survival horror or zombie genres.
