I'm still scared

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2004)

Somebody else mentioned that they have a crazy fear of zombies. I can't stop watching the movies either. I own pretty much all zombie movies. THis movie scared me so bad I didn't sleep right for two nights, and I usually sleep really well. I was afraid to get out of bed in the morning, because I figured the neighbor's daughter would be waiting for me in the hallway. I'm starting to get back to a normal state now, but dang.
I never got into the social aspect of Romero's Dawn of the Dead. I think the hopeless situation and the lonely feeling did it enough from me. Plus, when Savini stabbed that zombie through the neck, that was hilarious. This new movie keeps that aspect that really got to me...that the world pretty much sucks and you live in fear.
I really like the fact that they don't explain what happened and it went so fast. This seems a lot more realistic than 3rd person explanations of the whole situation. In real life you probably wouldn't really grasp what was occuring, especially if the worldwide problem took over fast like it did.
People keep calling the girl in the beginning the daughter, but it was my understanding that it was the neighbor's kid, and that she had gotten messed up from a zombie at her house and had wandered over to their house (thus the open door in the front of the house when the insane zombie husband bursts out).
Fast zombies scare me really bad. It's bad enough that there's so many of them, but when they can rush you, that's super problematic. The fat zombie: fat people can move fast too if they need to...especially on adrelanie. THey just can't do it as long.
Anyway, I really like this movie. It freaks me out really bad, but I still love it. Romero's Dawn of the Dead is the best zombie movie ever, but I don't think people should dump on this movie just because it's based on that one. Kudos to the dude who prayed for the exploding head and his prayers were answered.
Peace!
