InfiltratorJim At first glance, this is a low budget horror/comedy/mockumentary film with a barely known cast and a cheesy title, but basically just ignore that. No, seriously, ignore it all. The zombies aren't the walking dead, they're just men suffering from a weird illness that causes stiffness of the limbs, reduced mental ability and eventually violence. The film focuses on the first man to suffer from it, Harold, who also has a much slower progression of the symptoms, so while there are others limping about with silly walks and making groaning noises, Harold still has most of his wits about him. He's a nice warm hearted old man who struggles to manage, and begins being cared for by a kind young nurse called Penny. The comedy comes mostly from three daft lads who are self appointed vigilantes, inter-cut with British regional TV news reporting at it's finest. There are 'zombies' and some slapstick-esque violence with baseball bats and ketchup blood, but that's all the horror you get. There's no battles, no action sequences, no graphic be-headings, no guns, no brain eating and no end of the world. What there is however, is a really brilliantly told story about a lovely man and the person that cares for him, that is joyous at times and completely heartbreaking at others. Depending on where you are in your own life and how it relates to you and/or your family, it'll easily have you in tears. Not a film for everyone's tastes or expectations, but that doesn't make it any less wonderful. Thank you.

Red-Barracuda Harold is the first man to suffer a new disease called O.R.D., which brings on a state of rigor mortis rendering the sufferers zombie-like. A well-meaning nurse befriends him but the onset of the disease makes him a target for a group of vigilantes who feel that killing these 'zombies' is a service to society.This mega low budget horror comedy has to be given some credit for at least being a little bit different. Its focus is really on the relationship between Harold and his nurse, as opposed to typical gory zombie mayhem. So much so that this only just qualifies as a horror flick at all. The zombies never really threaten to any proper extent and only exist in the periphery of events. The film utilises a mockumentary format which works in its favour really, allowing for mock-seriousness which contributes to the humour quite a bit. But overall I can't say I found it very funny to be fair and would describe it as more amusing than hilarious. But perhaps the biggest surprise about this one is its surprising emotional resonance. This is certainly helped a lot by the good acting by the two leads; we really go along with their characters and feel for both of them. It's actually even all a bit depressing by the end which is hardly what you're expecting to get going into a flick called Harold's Going Stiff! But if I am honest I would have to rate this one as pretty middling overall. It has originality but it is somewhat slight at the same time, meaning it's an interesting low budget effort but a bit uneven all the same.

Billy Smith I enjoyed this film. It's quirky, different and whilst it is a bit amateurish in a way; I prefer to see it as quaint.I've watched it twice. It reminds me of "I, Zombie: The Chronicles of Pain" with a bit of a "Series 7: The Contenders" slant.Hollywood glitz is all well and good but sometimes it's great to watch something different and appreciate it for what it is, not berate it for what it isn't.There are a few plot holes but this clearly isn't supposed to be a "solid" narrative, the endearing characters more than make up for any inconsistencies for me.I can't wait to see what's next from Keith and the star of the show Sarah Spencer!

Cpiercey Great to watch a British film which has been filmed entirely in Yorkshire. Makes a change from the usual Zombie gore fest and actually has a bit of a touching side to it. Watched it with some great laughs and saw the serious side towards the end. Found myself laughing at the main character to start with and felt immersed into the plot quite quickly. If you want Murder, Blood, Guts and complete gore, this probably isn't the film you're looking for. If you want something a little different, you should definitely give it a try. It's appealed to my Wife as well as I've always had difficulty in managing to get her to watch more than 20 minutes of a film without getting up or talking, she managed to sit quietly for the whole film.
