the credits: they make this film

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2004)

I haven't seen the original and I'm really interested to see what is original story and what is a new 'twist'
I'm definitely not a horror fan, I was dragged by my dad who was threatening to make me go and see 'the passion of the Christ' and zombies suddenly seemed to be an exciting subject!
The film itself was pretty good, I was quite impressed but then I'd gone in fearing I'd miss the whole film hiding under my coat so.... The only majorly gruesome up close zombieness occurs in the first few scenes, and yes it was gross and perhaps a little unnecessarily so, but it's horror, you expect that. Once they get to the mall though it's more of a thriller/horror and I wound up really getting into it, empathising with characters and cheering zombie deaths, and consequently saying 'no no for gods sake just stab them in the head!'
My second favourite bit is all the stuff on the roof between the people in the mall and Andy across the street. A classic moment is made when they try to get Andy to shoot Jay Leno in zombie form, it's a beautiful moment!
But the film is made by it's credits, don't leave before them and mock those that do because the film goes up about 3 point in my ratings of it by the credits, I won't spoil it for you, just tell you to watch them.
