This time the deaders won't crawl... they run

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2007)

You ever had a day, when you wake up in the morning everything starts to go down the drain?. Ana (Sarah Polley) certainly has, when nice little girls rips her husbands throat open and after a furious escape she notices, that the whole city has gone to hell. With growling and running zombies in the every corner.
So after some running Ana and policeman Kenneth (Ving Rhames) end up in a mall with some other refugees. There they meet every stereotypical character of any zombie movie, have some great time, shoot zombies from a roof and finally make their doomed escape. And that's all there is to it.
There isn't anything original or new to the genre in this film, but there's no real need for that either. The film looks good, actors do great job, and the effects work, well at least most of the time. There are those mandatory who fells for who and other sappy crap moments in the film, but mostly it's just fun zombie flick, that isn't very scary.
Snyder has managed to scrape together good apocalyptic action film, that isn't an embarrassment to Romero's original film.
