One Of Snyders Best!!

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2019)

I remember when this first came out, the buzz about it and the apprehension going to see it. After all, 28 Days Later had already made such a splash and a remake of such a classic was never met with any positivity really...
But what a surprise then, and even now - watching it years later - it still rocks and delivers on horror and action.
This was Zack Snyder's first feature as a director and it certainly shows what a different director he was then to the one he became once the Hollywood doors flung open!!
Scripted by Guardians of the Galaxy director, James Gunn, this fast moving remake is packed full of gore, violence, action, and memorable moments that definitely made it a favourite among horror fans all over.
While it is a no-brainer, there is a couple of minor gripes for me that stop it from being a 5 star film. These would be due to a few silly moments, typically stupid American stereotypes and lines, and couple of annoying characters - especially the young girl who comes in second half and messes everything up over a dog...
Ridiculous.
In fact, the movie could have went a totally different way had she just got thrown to the zombies!
Apart from that though, I do love this film. I think Snyder should sit down and rewatch this before he sets out to do anything else and get a reminder of how creativity works best when budget can't...
