Pretty Average Movie

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2004)

As far as horror movies go, this was pretty average. Its best feature was, quite definitively, the special effects. The zombies looked pretty realistic, along with the blood and gore which would accompany their deaths. Unlike other horror movies, you feel more immersed because of the realistic zombies.
It lacked in other departments, though. For me, it was only exciting in the beginning and the end. The middle was long and tedious, broken up only by the occasional event -- which often turned out to be a dud. There was one really strange part (more strange than scary, which is a reoccurring theme in this movie) which sort of livened things up, but other than that, it was dull in the center.
The acting was convincing. There were few lines that sounded forced, and it all seemed pretty natural.
Overall, a good watch if you're a fan of the horror movie genre, or if you love special effects. Most people will probably find it about average.
