Boring, slick and instantly forgettable!

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2003)

Does everyone like this film???? I mean, I enjoyed playing the game and decided to give this movie a try even tho most remakes of computer games to date have left me pretty bored, and this is definitely no exception. There's just nothing remotely scary or creepy about this film, the cgi zombies are annoying and poorly made compared to Savini's brilliant Dawn of the Dead zombies or Fulci's rotting, maggot crawling cadavers. It may be a lot faster than the earlier zombie movies and it may look more expensive, but why does anyone think it's a good idea to let slick, middle-of-the-road action replace genuine atmos (like in City of the Living Dead, Night of the Living Dead) or funny satire (Like Dawn), tho it may be involuntarily funny on some sorta kitsch/camp level that I personally won't stoop to. Come on, 28 Days Later has this one beaten by a mile (actually leaves it standing on the starting line). If you have to work for a living I suggest you spend your hard-earned cash on something (anything really) other than this total waste of everyone's time.
Oh well, should stop ranting now, you probably all get the point, so over and out from me.
