An average movie

To be honest, I wasnโ€™t really expecting much from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, I have noticed that Romero's flicks are a favorite by remakers. Indeed, this is already his 4th movie remade and since the original zombie trilogy have already been remade (sometimes even several times), they are apparently looking now for his more obscure movies. As I mentioned before, I wasn't really sure what to expect from this one but I must admit that I was actually pleasantly surprised. Indeed, I always had a weak spot for this kind of virus themed features and I thought it was actually well made with a few scary moment here and there. Of course, it was still nothing amazing though. The first issue was that there was not much consistency in the behavior of the infected people. Indeed, at first, they acted like some rather standard brainless zombies but, at some point, they started to form gangs, talk and even hunt people. Above all, I thought the whole thing was still too pedestrian and they really didn't add anything new to the whole genre. Still, in spite of its flaws, it remains a well made flick and it is actually worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
