i didn't get anything from this movie...not sure what i was expcting, but completely didn't scare me or make me laugh or anything...

It wasn't really scary, no monster films really scare me. The action was well done, along with everything that makes a popcorn horror a popcorn horror... (ie :twisted: :a> :# :dudes: :boobies: :blowup: ).

By the time the opening credits hit I knew this one was going to be different.
Storyline and music were fantastic. You have to watch through the end credits to see everything. A reference popcorn flick.

lol, please believe me when I say this, and its odd that we keep disagreeing on movies....

this was a stinker. the acting was terrible. Ving really sunk to a new level by being in this.

i have friends that said 28 days Later sucked, and turns out I loved it.

Im glad I borrowed it from a friend. If I would have spent a 1.00 on it I would have needed therapy. Its already sad that I wasted electricity to watch the movie.

oh and a propane tank from a grill can take out a parking lot, but the big one in the van/truck at the end didnt cause near as much damage. I turned it off after that, I couldnt watch the ending.

Nope I was with Nick on this this one. I bought sight unseen and was very happy with the purchase. The director's cut is the only one to see.

Again this is one of those re-visioning projects. The zombie baby was strictly 80's roll your eyes over the top, but fun

True, not really scary but did include some okay social commentary which all "good" horrors should. The red goo oozes in this one so be prepared. :T :T :evil:

I personally think it was acceptable that the zombies moved quick in this one. I like classic slow-moving zombies but in the frame work of what this story lays down, the fact that they've only been dead for virtually minutes makes it acceptable that rigor wouldn't have set in. Makes sense to me. Their quickness, pumped it up a level as well.

I didn't find the quality of acting too bad....it's about what you'd expect for this type of movie. Vin was fine, but waaaaay underused.

Overall B+/ A- effort. (will be re-watched for all hallows eve).

just my review.

(Cabin Fever, Texas remake, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days later...this decade has done a much better job than the "scream era" of scary movies of the 90's...we've almost turned back the clock to the 80's it feels. Not quite but not bad.

However now Evil Dead will be re-done (with Rami's blessings so maybe it'll be okay), and Rami will continue with an Evil Dead 4. Maybe we will get some innovation in the second half of the decade? (Cabin Fever was a standout for something new. If you haven't seen it, run don't walk to the video store...or just flat out buy...it's good fun)

The buzz is pretty good on the Ring2...time will tell.

I saw Cabin Fever a long time ago. It was good, but I don't think it was particularly great.

I did enjoy the DotD remake. I thought Jake Weber (the Best Buy salesman) was the acting standout. The acting wasn't bad for this type/level of flick.

I'll let up on the propane tank and zombie baby scenes. Those were pretty corny... :B :rofl:

What was that australian zombie movie that had the guy whos mother becomes a zombie and spirals out of control? I ended up selling that one. I was so ashamed that I even owned it :B
