A well made remake.

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2007)

PREDICTION:
"There's gonna be gore everywhere! Limbs torn off and blood running like a tap from freshly torn skin!
PERFORMANCE:
At the end of the film, I still had no idea what names the characters were. (Except C.J., easy name to remember!) Sarah Polley (ain't been in any good films apart from this one) who plays Ana, main female character, was not a very convincing performance, if i'm to be honest. Maybe the director (Zack Snyder, directed jack all before this) told her to show hardly any facial expression, but any way, she looks expressionless for most of the film. Ving Rhames (Mission: Impossible II) who plays the policeman, Kenneth, is the stereo-typical beefy black guy who acts hard and protects everyone with his macho ideas and muscle and Shotgun. Not original, but it was bound to turn up. The rest of the cast deliver a good performance, not many errors in their acting, and, hell, you actually feel sorry for the odd guy who gets eaten alive or blows himself up.
BASIC STORYLINE:
Okay, a woman who you don't care about called Ana (Sarah Polley) wakes up, sees her husband get a piece of his neck ripped off by a little girl (WANG-KER!!!!!111 OWNED BY A GIRL!!111) and then attacks her. She runs away and bumps into "Look at me, I'm hard" Kenneth (Ving Rhames) and three other people including a pregnant lady and her boyfriend. They go into a shopping mall to hide and are taken prisoner by three losers who work there. They get tied up, then they rebel, the capturers are tied up and then a truck of new characters enter the building. A fat woman turns zombie and they kill it and then they start shopping. Soon they all begin to die, a granny shoots the pregnant lady who turns out to be a zombie, the husband pulls out the baby from the womb, it is a zombie baby, granny shoots him, he shoots granny, baby gets shot, zombies break in, people panic. They get in car. Half of them die. A woman gets a chainsaw in her shoulder by a pensioner, he dies of a heart attack. Then CJ laughs and blows himself up. Then everyone gets on a boat, sails to an island and we are left thinking, WTF???!111111 as the credits show that the island is infested with the undead.
Get it?
CONCLUSION:
Okay, the movie is not as confusing as that. I just couldn't be bothered to go so deep into it. Its 10:40 in the evening here... But anyway, it is a laugh to watch, better than 28 days later, miles better. By 28 times...
Screw this, I'm going to bed.
