My Take

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2007)

I thought the movie was excellent! I didn't really care for the 1978 original. Sorry! This 2004 remake was full of action, surprises, and a bit of humor here and there. The only part that I found to be really stupid was where Sarah Polley's character, Anna, SAW what happened to her husband, but said absolutely nothing to the rest of the gang about it until the next day or two. How dumb? It wasn't difficult to figure out. She saw the condition of "Vivian" the little girl who lived on her street, and she saw what Vivian did to her husband, Louis. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he died and then "came back" due to the bite from the little girl. I just didn't like the way they had Anna so closed-mouth and clueless about how the "sickness" spreads until darn near the end. Also, it would have been a nice touch for them to go a little in depth about HOW the "Zombie-Virus" started. Other than that, I enjoyed the movie and I've watched it at least a million times!
