Surprisingly Good and Fun

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2004)

Great film. Just as good as the original but for different reasons. You can never remake a film, so this re-imagining rocked. This isn't the 70s, something needed to change. After 30 yrs of zombie films some things had to change, and it worked. people aren't going to react the same to Zombies as they would in the 70s. If a some stumbling slow zombie came running towards you, I am sure a 12yo would know what to do. The film had to change some things to make a Zombie film frightening in modern day.
Also a loved the strong female heroine. The chick in the last one was so weak and annoying. This film benefited with the new idea of the kick butt chick, who does what she needs to do to survive. It also has intentional humor in it, something old horror fans will aprreciate. It was just a rocking good time. As far as scariness they did as much as they could with a R rating. Got away with some gross stuff too and a few good scares.
The characters, and acting was really amazing. The acting in the original was HORRIBLE. So I'd say the the two films are equally good for different reasons.
Also stay for the credits, there you will see the true ending. Whomever doesn't like the ending didn't stay for the credits.
