Corrected entry: Why do the infected travel in groups? Wouldn't they attack anyone they see if they had pure rage? Not just the healthy people.

Correction: They don't travel in groups. They are all attracted to the same stimuli, much like sharks to blood. Simply because they all end up pursuing the same target at the same time does not suggest they are constantly roving in packs. They could easily be wandering around and run towards something making a noise, and would simply end up with a group of infected doing the same.

So what is the stimulus intended to be? Noise? Bleeding? Sweating?

The infected individual is driven by constant, rabid, all-consuming rage, with a single-minded drive to always violently attack and pursue any uninfected individuals they find.

Corrected entry: They leave Hannah and Frank's flat in Canary Wharf, drive through the Blackwall Tunnel going South and get to the north of England without crossing the river again. Manchester is north of the River Thames, as is the flat - they have no need to cross the river and go completely the wrong way yet still get near Manchester. (00:41:15)

Correction: Canary Wharf is an office block, so it is unlikely that Frank and Hannah could live there. Therefore it could be possible that their flat was south of the river.

Whoever wrote this is not in the UK. Canary Wharf is not just an office building. There is lots of living residences on the Isle of Dogs. The main comment is correct, they had no reason to take a tunnel taking them south of the Thames when they were north of the Thames to begin with.

Continuity mistake: The chain and collar vanishes from Mailer's neck as he runs into the mansion. (01:33:45 - 01:35:20)

Suggested correction: It doesn't disappear; it is just hard to see. The chain is attached to the actor's back, quite securely, likely for the actor's safety. It is there, though, and can be seen in some shots.

Selena: Plans are pointless. Staying alive is as good as it gets.

Trivia: Mark was likely not infected. The wound on his arm was clean-cut and probably from either glass or a weapon wound. A bite mark would look very different. It is likely that he asked Selena to wait because he was scared and knew what she was like.

Question: Aren't distances in Europe designated in kilometers? Col. Henry West says he and his men are located 27 miles NW of Manchester. I figured he'd use the equivalent distance in kilometers,43 km. Is this common in Europe to use either measurement?

Answer: The metric system is used in mainland Europe, but very rarely in Britain. Road signs are still measured in miles in Britain, and distances usually are too.
