wow..truly disturbing

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2006)

This movie was really disturbing. At first I thought it wasn't going to be that great because there was a couple of "fake scares" at the beginning but they had me fooled. This movie wasn't only suspenseful and gory, but while I'm usually cheering every time a poor sucker dies in a horror movie, I was crying through about 80% of the movie. The scene(s) when certain member(s) of the family die is (are) truly touching. And the villains are more than stupid, mindless, unkillable zombies-they're real people (ok, sometimes their strength seemed a little unreal) they are smart, they have emotions, and yes, some do die. As sad and gruesome as it was, it still had a really redeeming ending. But I will warn you: animal(s) die-really gruesome deaths, as gruesome as humans. It was so good I want to watch it again but I don't know if I'll have the stomach for it.
