Enjoyed Most of This Film

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2004)

This film was very entertaining if you take it for what it is...a story about dead people taking over the planet. Fast-paced, creepy, well done effects, great acting, etc. If you want to break down the finer points, I have only two small complaints. First, not one character showed me the "what the hell is going on" panic mode that I think would be overtaking me in a situation like that. And the other-the shot that Mekhi Phifer's character took at Ving Rhames' character missed by a mile at point blank range while throughout the rest of the film most everyone was dead-on accurate.
I love horror films. I love horror films that keep your heart racing. This one does the trick for me. Wow, my wife even liked it and I had to talk her into going with me.
I think I may have seen the original when I was a little kid but don't remember it. I am now going to track it down on DVD just for comparitive reasons.
Solid 8/10.
