The first 10 minutes had me very excited. It had the potential to be a great movie.
But..
It seemed to be concerned with scares, after the first "everything seems calm then a zombie comes out of nowhere" scene I lost interest.
It seemed like the director was too concerned with instant scares then a overwhelming fear. That is what I loved about the original. The ideal of this constant lurking fear not, "we have to go turn on the generator level". It almost seems like a video game. In terms of horror movies its not bad. Its a nice "cover song" but not in anyway better.
The running zombies I could have overlooked if it wasn't a remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD. I really believe one of the main aspects of the story in the original is not the strength or the speed of the zombies but the numbers and the potential for infection. The remake was more of fighting super humans.
I liked it, although, but I cant help to compare it to the original and in that respect it failed.
