In the light of the AAAS announcing the discovery of the Higgs particle as scientific breakthrough of the year and as a holiday treat, this is the movie Decay. Decay is a horror thriller made by PhD Students at CERN. It is set in the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN facility.
The premise is simple, a radiation leak from the Large Hadron Collider turns people into zombies. TO quote the line from the movie poster, "The greatest discovery in physics could be our last...".
It's a zombie movie made by physicists. Incorporating the discovery of the Higgs Boson in the storyline will certainly appeal to all science and physics buffs around, especially with the Large Hadron Collider as the backdrop.
There are no wild scientific theories in this movie. It's a simple radiation-leak-turns-people-into-zombies premise. That said, it has a decent storyline and the characters are pretty smart in the way the adapt to the situation (since they are physicists in real life!).
As for the performances, there's a reason actors aren't physicists and why physicists aren't actors. Performances are sub-par in some parts, but the star of the movie is the LHC. The film doesn't show much of it but knowing that it's the actual facility does give Decay points. The claustrophobic feel of the dark twisting tunnels alone give the film character.
