After a classic first half hour this is done in by crappy monsters

Rating: 5/10 (12 September 2004)

This story of the walking dead in a secret government base is very disappointing.
In all honesty I expected to despise this film and then was shocked when the first half hour leading up to the zombies, was a tight, scary horror film of the highest order.
And then the zombies show up and it all falls into the toilet. The problem with this movie is that the monsters are so badly acted and so awful looking it takes away from any tension because you are laughing at them. Such is the problem with most post-Dawn of the Dead films, the people playing zombies over act and destroy the mood. Chalk it up to awful direction, or non direction of the crowds of zombies.
If you can get past the laughter this is a good film. Many people I've told about the laughable monsters, liked the film when they saw it themselves, I on the other hand can't be as forgiving because I loved the opening that much.
Try it, but expect to laugh more than you scream.
5 out of 10 (purely because of the zombie, the rest is pretty good)
