This remakes place in the trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2005)

First of all, let me say this.... this is one of the most awesome horror remakes I have seen in a while. Many times you see a "newer" version of an old horror classic and it falls well short of the thrill and chills the original gave you. This movie set the scene in the beginning to show you how much we take for granted our everyday lives, and how normal they are, how dependent we are on the rest of society to remain "normal" and ordered.
Then all hell breaks loose. The action and thrills were on par with the original (which I watched as a child and was on the edge of my seat). This movie did not have Romero's flair, but then again, I guess it wasn't supposed to. My only gripe about this movie at all was that the zombies were fast, not slow. 28 Days later introduced the "fast" zombie, but then they weren't zombies, they were just "infected".... but i know a zombie when I see one. This movie seems to me like it was trying to recapture the audience that went out to see and liked 28 days later. They did a great job, but I just wished the zombies were bit slower and they had've stuck closer to the main script. What really impressed me about this film the most I;d have to say is in the end, when they took the boat and landed on an island.... Fulci's next zombie flick took place on an island... nice hand off, someone did their homework.
