Fast Zombies!!!! Great Remake

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2015)

This movie and the 28 days and months, and maybe Zombieland, have the fast moving zombies, which are so much more scarier than the shambling ones. The beginning is so quick and concise right to the action and that overhead shot showing the spread is amazing. Good acting, not the best, probably the weakest part though I think there were certain performances that stood out like Ving Rhames and Sarah Polley. This seems to be where Zack Snyder showed his talent and has gone on to do great things. Also James Gunn's writing has that great sense of enjoyable horror and action that has shown through in several of his other works. I think this movies was what first engaged me in zombie films and how terrifying they really can be. It brought the next generation since this was a remake of an old classic and though the story is similar, it feels fresh. (Spoiler: the biggest flaw is the zombie baby) This is my first review so I hope to get better at this as I go along!
