Britain is hard hit by a new virus. A virus of which there is no cure. As masses of people die, the decision is made to quarantine the infected areas and cut their losses. Half the British Empire is walled off and basically, left for dead.

Some years have passed and the unaffected half has returned to normalcy… until a few new cases of the Reaper Virus turn up in London. The decision has been made to quarantine the city…more than likely to a similar fate that had befallen the infected areas of Britain years earlier. As plans are made to this end, a discovery of survivors is made in the area that was long thought dead. And where there are survivors, there is a good chance that a cure can be found from those that seem to be immune. An extraction team lead by Maj. Eden Sinclair (played by Rhona Mitra) is set up to find these survivors and bring them back.

One major (to me anyway) Gimp scene and a couple of minor ones here. The first has Rhona suspended AOH. As the scene initiates I thought that it might be a nude scene because of distance and lighting. As the camera comes closer and with change in light we see Rhona dressed in tight black pants and a tight black tank-top. Despite not what I was hoping for here, she looked great as her hair was wet and she looked damp from sweat. As the scene progresses she gets hit numerous times in the stomach as she hangs helpless. Later she is cut down and briefly interrogated. A cart gets wheeled in which has, I'm not really sure, but was obvious that it was for purposes of torture. This turned out to be only a tease as nothing happens with it and the only thing inflicted on Rhona at that point is a bite on the ear. She of course escapes later because of her hands being tied in front of her.

She is again tied briefly twice, as the first one has her being led by horse as she is pulled along with hands in front. Then later a very brief moment when she get tied with hands behind her back.

The final Gimp moment comes when another girl, in full dress, has the back of it ripped open while AOH, and then gets burned with a hot piece of iron (incidentally, ordered by Malcolm McDowell).

Entertainment value: I thought this was a pretty good movie, although not seeming entirely original. Start off by entering a city cutoff from the rest of civilization similar to Escape From New York, add a villain reminiscent of Dee Snider’s character from Strangeland, include a chase scene where 2 of the extraction team are being chased by an old dilapidated bus full of punk-looking pursuers…complete with individuals hanging out the windows, swinging chains and clubs, ala the scene from The Warriors, mix in 2 parts virus from 28 Days/Weeks Later (without the zombies), and finish with a wasteland car chase scene like in The Road Warrior, and you end up with something a whole lot less than original looking….

But despite that, I did like this movie… Most of it anyway. I liked the first half better than the second. And it does have a few cheesy parts, like where Rhona has this artificial eye that she can pull out of her head, then toss, and with the help of a remote control device, can turn it to see things from a distance. There is also a part where they leave the city and end up at a village on the outskirts that has regressed to medieval times that I didn't care for.

Despite the lack of originality and some cheesy parts, I give it a C+/B-
