Very decent remake

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2005)

I understand that the UK version has been cut because apparently we have to get a worse deal than other countries. I'm sure that's not it but I was disappointed to find out that there were scenes cut from the version I saw because what I did see I thought was very good.
The things that made the original so brilliant were not touched on at great length in this movie but this version is more about action. Good action scenes they were too, well paced, well acted and the tension was well developed by the direction. The zombies were scarier than in the original, they looked scarier and posed a bigger threat than the zombies in the original movie, which were slow moving and easier to escape from. I was pleased they didn't over gore the film as was the case in Day of the Dead.
All in all a very good horror film that doesn't require too much thought. Just sit back and enjoy the scares.
