'Devil's Playground' is a British horror film directed by Mark McQueen and starring Craig Fairbrass. Intandem Films has the worldwide rights to the film, which was produced by Freddie Hutton-Mills, Bart Ruspoli and Jonathan Sothcott.

Plot



After the final stage of human testing goes horribly awry, the test subjects of the fictional pharmaceutical company N-Gen become violently ill. As the side effects worsen, the test subjects become increasingly violent until they are little but marauding beasts. Worse yet, their bites are infectious and in short order London is overrun with hordes of bloodthirsty monsters. Cole, a mercenary for N-Gen and a hardened killer, is searching for Angela Mills, the only hope of a cure for this plague which threatens the globe. As the only test subject who did not suffer side effects, her immunity holds the key to preventing a worldwide apocalypse. Cole's mission is complicated by chaos, continual attacks by the infected, and the virus slowly overtaking his own body.

Reception



Leslie Felperin of 'Variety' called it "unoriginal but watchable". Mark L. Miller of AICN wrote that it is "heavy on action and surprisingly textured when it comes to story." William Bibbiani of Crave Online called it a forgettable and "completely nondescript" knock-off of '28 Days Later'. Kayley Viteo criticised the rapid shifts in tone and called it a caricature of '28 Days Later'. Peter Dendle wrote that the film is "largely familiar, but the execution is competent and convincing".
