This came out on DVD recently and I was SO taken by the previews I've seen of this movie, I jumped on the chance to see it!. First off, the preview is actually more engaging than the actual film itself. I'm not saying the movie is bad, but the previews make it seem so much better.
I've seen a lot of zombie movies but this one fails to scare or engage (I liked "Shaun of the dead" better!) First off, the zombies are too computer generated and way too fast. There is very little zombie engagement with 'live' hosts (ie...attacking and eating them!!). There's no scary build up and tension at all. The ending of this film is horrible and incomplete and lacks proper closure. Brad pitt does only an ok job in his main role. The overall pace of this film, like the zombies in it....is too fast and fails to engage. It wasn't all together horrible but it was somewhat of a disappointment.
6/10 stars for this effort
