i can't believe it this sounds nearly exactly to a story i wrote some twelve years ago!! my story revolved around an undercover police man who infiltrates a a gang who rob banks. the story starts with the bank robbery but it then zips to the police man now in custody on his way to prison for stealing the stolen bank money along with the others of the outfit in a coach which then breaks down near a remote english village. its set at winter time amidst a terrible snow storm and then a meteor shower comes and rips through the bus killing a few of the prisoners who eventually turn into zombies. the survivors haul ass to a local church where they fight for survival against the zombies. however there's the tension between the ex police man and the gang he ripped off too. basically can they put their rift to one side and help each other or is it going to explode..there's so much more to it but i couldn't believe it when i watched the trailer for this movie! to say the least i'm kicking myself for not doing more..this could've been my movie DOH!! to be honest i'd still like to see my story made into a movie but i'm gutted to say the least!

hey you know what i would love to! especialy now i've watched this and if my story turned out anything like i see it in my head i know it would be amazing. the meteor shower is great alone..then when it all kicks off..woh! i'd love to do it. i really would. so you know what i'm going to look into it. see with it being set in the uk there's no guns(well not till near the end) but some imaginative killings to say the least and a hell of a lot of them too lol

thanks matey.

I like the story, but I think you should have the neighboring town be hit by the meteor right before the bus breaks down a short distance away. When the characters returned the town could already be infected. If the meteor hits the bus and there are only a few zombies, the survivors should be able to get away and get help easily. I like how most zombie movies throw their characters into a bleak zombie-infested world at the start of the movie.

Your plotline is good, definitely better than some zombie movies I've seen. You should write a script.

Well, it wasn't exactly an original story. I quite liked it, though it borrowed lots from movies like Night Of The Living Dead. Maybe that is why I liked it.

Yeah, nothing wrong with a good siege film. :-)
