Conventions of horror genre to fit the film:

The survivors in the film were Jim, Serena and Hannah. Iconographic features e.g. blood, deserted location (Britain after infections spread). Also the hero in the film or antagonist is Jim.

Horrific:

The horrific features of the film could be the blood gore and destruction shown throughout. The way in which people are killed. Wakening up to what feels like a world all alone no one left. The issue of the infection that is extremely contagious. The devastation on seeing someone you have been drawn to come close to die in front of you.

What makes this distinctively a British film?

The location the films set in London signifying that its British.

 The accents of the characters are all British actors.
