It seems in recent years that cutting off heads has replaced blowing up buildings in the action genre. While it held my attention, I thought the violence was over the top.

...and you turned that bag into a movie, you'd get Doomsday.
It basically switches genres every 15 minutes for the entire film. I missed the first part, but as far as I can tell there's a disease that makes people evil zombies, but smarter than zombies, but still evil. To find the cure, some chick decides they need to go on a road trip to scotland; the next twenty minutes are the first half of Aliens and the last ten minutes of the recent Dawn of the Dead remake, combined. After that, it turns into mad max, and then king arthur.
Basically, someone with a budget managed to turn a script written on a cocaine binge into a finished movie.
And they spent quite a bit on special effects - so a lot of the deaths are extra disgusting. It was actually kinda awesome in its own way.
But yeah, this was one stupid movie.

Doomsday is a strange and, in places incorrectly paced, thrill ride that is a bizarre mashup of The Road Warrior, 28 Days Later, and The Lord of the Rings! Heed the rating warnings because although it is entertaining and watchable it is graphic and even disturbing.
