A zombie movie taking place during the day???

Rating: 6/10 (21 February 2007)

This is the type of movie I usually try to avoid: the walking dead, buckets of blood, dire hopelessness, etc. Not only do these types of movies creep me out, they disgust me. Having said all that, this came on one of the movie channels and I had nothing better to do than watch it. Boy this movie didn't waste any time with the zombies. I think it was the second or third scene that the little girl wakes up and decides that she wants to eat mommy and daddy.
Eventually a group of living were able to hole themselves up in a mall, which I thought was interesting and smart. So few people are smart in horror films thereby lending themselves to be easy prey. Now, of course there had to be at least one act of stupidity or this would not have been a true horror, and there was one. The mall scenes were more or less an attempt to buy time to come up with an escape plan. Well, they escaped... sort of.
This movie was probably the best of its kind that I've ever seen, not that that's saying much. I sat through it and watched from beginning to end, so I had to give it an above average rating.
