Now don't get me wrong, I love zombie films and Im a big fan of the old Dawn of the Dead, etc, but this film was one of the worst films I have ever laid my eyes upon. The acting was APPAULING!! Especially the Girl, the main character, just plain awful. Plus I didn't like the fact that whenever anyone dies, e.g. of natural causes and not a bite, they still turn into a zombie. Doesn't make sense? Does it?

Im glad Romero moved away from the likes of the dawn of the dead type zombie movie (stuck some were and fight of a bunch of zombies) yeah they are good but this shows you if zombies were actually real and what would happen , cover up from the government ?? yes , a big action scene ?? no , and this what this movie provides a bunch of teens trying to get home and figure what is going on and they bump into a view zombies ..i think thats what Romero was trying to do was make a zombie movie what people would do if this was real and he pulled it off , dont expect your typical action zombie movie cause its not ..but a very good movie saying that

I've never been a fan of the Living Dead franchise, mainly because I've always found the shuffling, lurching zombies too farcical for my tastes. This is the first of the series that I've watched all the way through, and I was pleasantly surprised. The film within a film approach is more effective, and less annoying, here than in some other examples as Romero doesn't allow the camerawork to become too shaky, disjointed, and ultimately irritating. However, the voiceover jars in places and I think more use of captions would have been a better option. The dialogue is also very ripe at times. But there are some nice ironic touches and some very funny moments. Romero's attitude towards the media and the blogosphere is suitably ambivalent although the moralising is occasionally heavy-handed. And I mustn't forget the gore, which is both well produced and marvellously over the top in places. All in all this is good fun if you like a slickly-made, intelligent gorefest.
