Awesome rework

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2004)

First off, you should know that this is not a remake of the original movie, this is a rework. What is the difference? Remake is just that, a scene by scene copy of the original with a few new elements thrown in. A rework takes the basic concepts and elements from the original and gives you a whole new movie.
Now that we said that, the movie was AWESOME. Personally I think it was 10 fold better than what Romero put out in 1978. The zombies were better looking, scarier than the original, waaaaay faster and more intelligent. Which in my opinion would be exactly what a freshly dead person would act like.
The acting was good. Rahmes did a great job, a real bad ass in the movie. Polly's performance was outstanding. She has some reals bug balls in this film and quick thinking (like remembering to grab the keys). The others performances were on par, I will admit, however that Pfier's acting abiliy was wasted. The role he got sucked big time. I wish they could have written in a better character for him.
There wasn't ANY Romero type gore in the movie. The movie had more supence and close calls than anything else and relied heavily on that. There is alot of blood and some great kills, but nothing I think anyone hasn't seen before.
I'm not going to tell you anything that happens the film other than saying that you should stay through the whole ending credits. :)
