After reading the overwhelming amount of bad reviews here, I watched it and was very happy. Plenty of gore, coherent plot/story (contrary to many posters) above average acting, a few "make you jump" scares and most surprising a happy ending. It was pretty much exactly what I had hoped for from George Romero and a relatively big budget. Maybe I am just not as "harcore" as some of the other reviewers. I mean, I loved all Romero's other movies, I enjoyed the "revisioning" of Dawn of the Dead, and Shaun of the Dead was a lot of fun. I don't know, maybe I am crazy but I really loved it! If you like zombie movies, you have to see it.

Not a bad zombie flick, I guess, but not as good as it should have been. It just didn't seem to go anywhere or have anything much to say, which is what always put Romero above the competition. Personally, I suspect that studio tampering and/or the lure of a big budget are what caused this dumbing down, especially after Romero's comments on the Dawn of the Dead commentary.

I have to admit to being a fan of cheesy horror, as long as it has a certain campiness. I generally love the 'living dead' series. However, this movie just missed the mark. I really liked Dawn of the Dead, but this one just didn't quite cut it. It was an even bigger disappointment because I was looking forward to seeing Romero's 'vision' revisited. Blah.

...this movie was horrible...I didn't even see the end...I shut it off. I gave it one star because people went through trouble to make the movie and another star because I like zombie movies...but besides 'Zombie Night', every other zombie movie I've seen is better. I hated the main zombie the most...what a bad actor...actually, most of the acting was bad. I was expecting this movie to be awesome...what a dissapointment...

Why do we still have zombies? Cause these geniuses are going out at night with the patented zombie movie flashlight that couldn't outshine a lightning bug. Sky flowers my bum.

12 minutes in I knew that I would never finish watching it. Save yourself the pain unless you really like zombie movies.

But still pretty dumb and based mostly on gore. Even the kids got bored and didn't want to finish watching.
