Was it better than the original?

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2005)

Whenever a film gets the modern treatment, the use of the technical can destroy the spirit of the acting - I think that happens with this remake.
I found the film thrilling and scary but not as scary as I thought it should be.
The performances are fine but I just didn't care if they lived or died, with the exception of the dog of course! I found the ending rather predictable too and would have preferred less definition - let the viewer decide.
I now await the next instalment of the zombie film genre and hope that they put more effort into making the characters come to life (pardon the pun).
7 out of 10 but had the potential to score 8 or 9.
