the trailer was better than the movie !

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2004)

The trailer for the movie was good. Too bad the movie wasn't. The eerie images had sensational angles, shadows, and lighting accompanied with music that matched went well during the trailer. It's a shame that we didn't see a lot of that in the movie. It made the movie seem stylish and scary. When the film stops, melts, and the zombies try to come for the audience out of the screen, that was a pretty clever way to end the trailer. They should have made the movie end that way, too! Most of the scenes in the trailer were at the beginning of the movie before the opening credits. In the movie, the director drew the viewer's attention to certain things that ended up to be insignificant. What was the point? Could it be to make us think it's going to have an interesting plot with twists? Well, don't think too hard about anything that goes on because it's pointless. Were the zombies everywhere? How far do you have to go to get away from them? And why did everyone end up at the mall? Did the mall employees all turn into real zombies? They should have put in computer generated flies around all the zombies. Now that would have been clever! This was supposed to be a horror movie, but it ended up more like a "HORRORble" drama with a few thrills thrown in during the first ten minutes.
