About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, more intense Doctor Who story with scary infected-creature suspense and big moral pressure; Not for you if you prefer lighter adventures like Doctor Who: Voyage of the Damned.
Pros: tense, scary threat; strong emotions; memorable performances | Cons: clumsy script moments; uneven humor; familiar zombie setup
