Very disappointing remake of a classic

Rating: 3/10 (25 April 2006)

I watched this film for the first time recently, and I have to say, I was very disappointed. This film was clearly made for the "20-something" MTV crowd who is more into films with instant gratification than anything that might require some thought. The fast zombies made it seem even more unbelievable and silly (why would dying make a 400 pound woman all of a sudden be able to run faster than Carl Lewis in his prime?), and the characters were incredibly one-dimensional and quite frankly, boring. The plot line is so silly that a 3rd grader could have done better. To have the ending shown during the final credits was completely ridiculous. The film started off with some promise, and could have had a satisfying ending, but for some reason, the producers chose to obliterate the entire cast and leave nothing at all to the imagination. A waste of time. 3 stars out of 10.
