ENOUGH WITH THE VIDEO GAME ADAPTATIONS, ALREADY!!!

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2002)

Here's the skinny: I am not a video game fan, so I went into this film with only one thing on my mind-a gory zombie movie. Boy was I disappointed!
While watching the film, I came to a few conclusions. 1. I realized that I have already seen DAWN OF THE DEAD, and it was a far superior film in every way. 2. This is a zombie film that has an R rating and yet it has no worthy gore to speak of. 3. There was no story. The upshot of which is that I already saw DAWN OF THE DEAD but all of the good stuff was actually in that movie. Since I had already seen a good version of the same basic scenario, I was prompted to do something that I haven't done in 15 years.
I walked out.
I have certainly seen worse films, but this is simply devoid of scares, suspense and characters. People who may find this film to be actually scary seriously need to hit the video rentals stores! And.please, PLEASE put an end to the plague of video game adaptations!!! Don't keep shelling out your hard-earned cash for this kind of crap; it only encourages Hollywood to crank out more!
