Brilliant

DOTD 2004 is brilliant. We haven't had a noticeable zombie film in some time now, and this more than makes up for it.
Its exciting, emotional, its tense. Its also dark but has a sense of humour that surprisingly works well with the rest of the film. I love watching horror/sci-fi, and thought I could stand any level of violence. But this film is particularly violent, and all the better for it. Unlike the original, the zombies can't easily be outrun; they have super strength and pose far more of a threat than the ones in the tame original ever did. Whilst it does share some common elements to the original, it is not an exact remake. This one is far superior. The people act how you would EXPECT them to act (such as the people in the mall) This one also leaves a lot of questions unanswered (just check the message board below to see), and a sequel has been announced.
Let's just hope its better than LOTD, which I hear is disappointing.
