IT could have been....

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2006)

This movie could have been easily the best of the "Zombie genre" and had a chance to be one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Then a certain scene happens known as the "baby scene" that while not wanting to ruin it for people who have not seen it makes you think that you have suddenly been shuffled into another movie. Its not the scene itself I have such a problem with, but its what the characters do immediately after the scene is over. What was a tense, edge of your seat thriller became a clichéd horribly thought out third act that basically ruins the greatness of the first two thirds. What the characters choose to do is so asinine and stupid you just throw your hands up realizing another Hollywood blown opportunity to do the horror genre justice. Think of it this way, and Boston fans can understand this, your up 8-0 in the bottom of the 7th in game 7 of the World Series and your set up man and closer wind up blowing the lead behind 6 errors and horrid pitching. I cant remember a movie where I have been more upset over a movies sudden nose dive because this could have been a classic.
