A horror movie that finally gave me nightmares

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2005)

It's been years since a horror film left me thinking, DAMN that was pretty darned scary. Last film that did that was SQUIRM, and i was 6 years old. Why does this movie work ? Well, some people won't like this comment, but RUNNING ZOMBIES. Yes, it's a new Hollywood trend, but the fact these human eating fools can run as fast if not faster than you is absolutely terrifying and helps make this one of the better zombie films made in my opinion. Solid script, solid writing, surprisingly great acting, and I think Romero himself might be impressed slightly . However, unlike the original which showed a perspective on "society" as a whole , this movie tends to be more for action and scares. Which works for me. Because when I think of zombies, i want to run and hide, not get a lesson on life's inconsistencies and pitfalls. This movie is fun, scary, and if zombies took over the world, this is the way I would NOT want them to be. Which means I was scared and eating popcorn for 2 great hours of movie theater fun.
