What the hell was the movie I just watched

Ok, so tonight I was going to try to watch Sunshine, the movie that came out last year where the sun burns out and they send a team to reignite it. Anyway I go to a site and click the link for the movie, and sure enough the link was to something completely different. It was a fairly modern film about some virus that breaks out in London and they completely block it off. Then there are survivors who become cannibalistic savages and some other crazy shiz going on. This is in the near future, 2035 or something around there. The main character is a female who reminded me of Kate Beckinsale. Honestly I cannot explain much else about this movie other than it was also fairly gory, if someone can tell me what the hell it was that would be great.

Edit: No more link because it was answered. Thanks everyone.

    It's called Doomsday - apparently the Scottish weren't happy with how they were portrayed (Glasgow - barbarians, Edinburgh - civilised :P)

    This film does look interesting, but you might want to remove that link.

    Yeah, it's Doomsday, a subtle satire on action movies.

    It's a lot of fun and directed by the guy who did Dog Soldiers and [/i]The Descent[/i].

    I definitely had no idea what the plot was while watching it, but early on there was an automatic turret that completely blew away a bunny rabbit, that kept me watching. The action/gore scenes were pretty hilarious but I agree, this was a pretty terrible movie (even if that is what it was supposed to be). Thanks again everyone.


    edit: Oh jeez, I had no idea it was made this year, I see why I needed to get rid of the link. Again, this was for the movie Sunshine, so I had literally no idea what it was.
