Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

Rating: 9/10 (29 September 2009)

Let me start out by saying that I have not seen the original movie... well not at least all the way through. But I imagine that if any other movie would make a perfect remake of it, it would be this one.
When I first saw the movie, I hadn't heard of it, so as a typical horror-survival horror movie fan I wasn't expecting anything. About 10 minutes into the masterpiece, I found myself on the edge of the seat. The movie wastes no time on the unimportant, but really gets through to the viewers.
The best thing about the movie was probably the behavior of the people trapped in the mall - how they really looked out for each other (well, at least some of them) but meanwhile were ready to do about anything to save their own lives. Specially loved the Andy/Kenneth relationship.
*SPOILERS*
The cast was also perfect, as were the dialogs, writings, etc. There really is nothing bad to say about the movie. So why did I give it 9/10? Because the red-head (can't remember her name) really angered me when she was risking her and the group's life when going after that stupid dog. But in the end it did become the breaking point of the movie - they had to leave their secure mall and head out. It's still one of my favorite movies ever. Great job! Keep 'em coming.
