The Best Zombie Movie I Have Ever Watched

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2006)

I am a fan of zombie movies to begin with, as I find myself engrossed in the very concept itself. While the original was great, this is the kind of remake that shines so brightly with skill and performance at all levels. Improved in this movie are the cinematography, editing, acting, and storyline.
Unlike too many (but not all) other zombie flicks, the zombies in this film are relatively agile, and thus pose a believable threat to those who remain un-undead. No brisk walking speed will keep you away from these infected creeps. This aspect alone is a great welcome to the zombie genre, though this film is not the first to implement this feature. This is the first zombie flick I have seen that incorporates a high quality storyline, and attention to detail. Not missed are the plot points that merely occur to fill film space, as events unfold with good cause, and not that "it just happened" rubbish that inflicts poorly created film art. Also of great skill are the technical aspects, giving great special effects, superb editing, and a director that kept his eye on the details.
If you're not a fan of zombie movies for any reason other than an aversion to gore, then this is a great film for your zombie cherry to be broken. If you are a fan of zombie movies, I would fail to see any reason this film would do anything short of astonish and terrify you.
