Most excellent remake of a classic

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2006)

This is one fun movie.I hate most remakes of classics,however this is a super well done remake.This is Zack Synder's remake of the George A.Romero classic zombie flick.
A group of people are thrown together in their quest to evade the hordes of flesh craving zombies that have taken over the city.They hole up in a mall.The zombies in this film are fast and mean,like zombies on steroids.And there are thousands of them roaming the streets outside the mall.The mall group starts communicating with a gun shop owner trapped in his shop across the street.The gun shop owner and his desperate attempt to survive the zombie attacks all alone are very poignant and that is one of the things that make this film unique.The DVD package has a special feature where,Andy,the gun shop owner, videotapes his desperate struggle.
This film has all the gore and blood that you could want.You ever seen a zombie woman give birth to a zombie baby? Well you will in this film.Thousands of fast moving zombies run wild in the streets in this movie perhaps fulfilling the vision that Romero had seen but wasn't able to finance back in 1978 when he made the original.
This film may usher in a new breed of fast animal-like zombie that may change the zombie genre forever.But if not it will still be a cool gory zombie flick with a cast of thousands of panther quick zombies.
