Summary
Add a SummaryTypical zombie apocolypse survival movie. In this one, our survivors shack up in a mall. Like every other zombie movie, their safety does not last forever.
Notices
Add a NoticeCoarse Language: Quite a bit of swearing.
Violence: Violence a-plenty. People being eaten and zombies being shot.
Frightening or Intense Scenes: I saw this when it first came out and I was in the third or fourth grade. It scared me. Now? My son (he is 14) said "This is a good movie, but the graphics are ghetto". The idea is frightening, but the visualization in this case is not any longer.

Add a CommentI love this movie! I first saw it when I was like in the 3rd or 4th grade. I saw it with my son the other day and I said "When this came out, it was state of the art!" Watching this now, one must keep that in mind. I am a huge fan of the zombie genre. The story was good, but the SFX are lacking by today's standards. Romero's first, "Night of the Living Dead" was much better.
Laughably bad SFX, and a few things that were beyond the suspension of disbelief such as someone learning to fly a helicopter in only a few lessons. That said, I can see where the video game "Left 4 Dead" got 99% of its imagery. There's a couple of points in the story that an actual plot reared its head, but thankfully the people involved didn't bring them to fruition. The Lord only knows what they would have done with them.
The zombies look like someone spraypainted a bunch of people purple and the so-called "Ground-breaking gore effects" are laughable. the acting is ,meh, and the writing stale. Soundtrack Guarunteed to get on your nerves.
Not bad. Fairly entertaining.
this movie is seriously not scary its actually funny. the zombies are ffunny
