A relentless remake !

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2008)

How do you turn the everyday world into a zombie nightmare in 10 minutes? Take a story from one of the worlds leading horror masters (George Romero). Hire a fairly unknown young director (Zack Snyder). Toss in a seasoned actor (Ving Rhames) and shake well ! I have never seen ANY segment of ANY movie, much less a remake, that has grabbed my attention so totally and unmercifully as the first 10 minutes of this film. By itself, this beginning would win all awards in my book for pacing, creepiness, action and absolute doom and horror.
Once the adrenalin wears off, the rest of the film is amazing. Don't get me wrong.I am a huge fan of the original offering but this version can stand all on its own and is now officially my favorite.
I see great things in this young directors future. The acting, special effects and storyline are all spot on.
Thank you George and Zack for the roller-coaster ride to Hell ! Can we go again soon, please ??
