Seriously, this was pretty darn good!


Making an intelligent blockbuster zombie movie is hard. So go easy, unless you are about to make a better one yourself. This movie was not perfect or super original, but it kept me glued to the screen, and that's all i ask.

There is a difference between "this movie is objectively good" and "I really liked it."

the movie is good.

much better than the resident evil garbage
much better than anything George Romero has done recently.
much better than the shaky cam found footage stuff that is done now (both in zombie and possession movies)

people are just mad and buthurt that it didn't have any blood or gore or people getting eaten alive, that's the only reason you guys hated it so much

But the plot and the suspense and even the acting were good.

That's like saying Green Lantern is good because it's better than Catwoman. If you set the bar that low, anything looks good.

At least George Romero is trying to make something interesting. This movie is content to be as bland as possible.

Again, saying it's better than lowest common denominator cash-grab dogsh!t doesn't mean it's actually good.

...No?

Actually, I don't have to be easy on the movie simply because I'm not making a better movie myself. You see, I'm not a filmmaker. Mark Foster is, and if i paid money to watch this movie, I can call it a pile of *beep* if I like.

That's pretty much exactly how I feel about it. I don't like some of the CGI, and it's not the most original movie, but it's entertaining and somewhat engaging; kind of like solving a puzzle. I thought the zombies are fairly unique in the genre.
