Great zombie movie, modern-style

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2004)

This movie met all my expectations and more. From the trailer I know it's a movie with fast zombies instead of the slow ones from the original. That alone hooks me and draws me to the movie; I've never been able to get into the old "Dead" movies Romero did. I mean, come on, the zombies are so slow you can run circles around them. How scary is THAT?
I never watched the original Dawn of the Dead (only saw Night and Day), but I liked what I see here. Right of the bat, the action takes off 5 minutes into the movie. This movie isn't about panic, it's pure adrenaline packed into an hour and a half. The action is fast-paced and relentless, helped by the zombies that can probably run faster than you can.
And I just loved some of the irony in this movie, in moments it's deeper than most horror movies.
