Meh

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2008)

It could've been better. The intended visual effects (the look of an old film strip complete with faux poorly spliced visual, burn spots on the projected image) as a tribute to the old 60s, 70s Roger Corman style B-movies became distracting as the movie wore on. What made films like Army of Darkness and the original Dawn of the Dead interesting and fun to watch was that they pulled off the campy horror humor better, while to me, this movie was trying too hard to be cool. The dialogue was hackneyed and cheesy and usually when Willis or Taratino appear in a movie, it's a welcome sight but in here it was a yawner. There wasn't a single appealing character to care about. 5/10.
