Excellent Horror Movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2004)

If you like horror films then this is for you. Sarah Polley does some fine acting as Ana even though the script doesn't develop her character as much as it should. I think we will see her in many movies to come. The rest of the cast did just as well, and the director, Zack Snyder, shows he knows what he is doing by giving some truely awesome visuals not usually seen in a horror film. If your expecting a low-budget gore fest you couldn't be more wrong. It is a large-budget gore fest with lots of twists and turns. It does lag in one or two small places but that is offset by the chilling scenes that come next. It is a very different movie than the original so you may want to see both if you can. This one is better than the low-budget original if for no other reason than the fantastic special effects and acting. If you like Resident Evil, Evil Dead, or Night of the Living Dead then your going to love this! I give it 10/10.
