God Awful

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2004)

I can't for the life of me see why this is getting so many good reviews. I went into this movie with an open mind and pretty excited, and after the initial set up, this movie just went downhill.
The characters get no depth, and when combined with their stupidity in doing things, you just stop caring about what happens to them. I liken this to Resident Evil...just a bunch of zombie death scenes to satisfy the MTV generation, but nowhere near the plot or realism of "28 Days Later".

Is this movie worth 6 bucks? Maybe for some...but it's definitely not a classic. If you're going to do a movie about a group of people isolated in a mall for a while...you have to focus on the dynamics and interaction of the characters. This movie skipped character development all together. You flat out don't care about any of them.
2 stars from me. Watchable, but not memorable.
