Finally the dream comes true

Rating: 9/10 (17 March 2002)

Though Romero was nowhere to be found in the finally film, his archetypes were. This visually stunning, claustrophobic piece brings the video game to life in a way rarely, if ever, seen before. Moments of zombie-ridden calamity scream references to moments established in Romero's 'Dead' films, and leave the horror fanatic drooling with delight. Aside from some occasional bad dialogue, a constantly brooding Michelle Rodriguez and that ever present curse of finding good zombies to act in a film, it was a stunning work of horror. The zombie-loving public never gets a fair shake in the mainstream of Hollywood, so this is a must see if only for the moments that glimmer references to Romero-past.
