6 reviews for Dead London
Paul
Enthralling. Loved it
David
A very enjoyable short drama.
David Collins-Rivera
An excellent, even disturbingly-realistic production. With some clever updating of a well-known classic, “Dead London” becomes compelling and new, even while familiar.
Fine performances, flawless voice recording in what had to challenging outdoor locations, and spectacular sound effects, music, and over-all audio construction. Very highly recommended!
Audio Fan
Wow. This is like a movie. Loved it.
Richard
Don’t hesitate in downloading this one. It’s an clever adaptation, an immersive soundscape and succeeds in being geniuely unsettling.
Leonard
Uh this one is good. It’s very very good. L
