Sorry, this flick is junk. Ving Rhames is used as sucker bait. He's zombiefied and killed early. No, I'm not sorry for the spoiler. Save your money. Don't lose 90 precious minutes of your time on earth to this rip-off. It's not even good as a non-Romero B-crap zombie flick. The zombies are not special in any way, and not only are they the "fast" zombies a'la the "Dawn" remake, they are sped up even faster by special fx and now have Spiderman power to scale walls at lightning speed too. I don't think I ever got a good look at one, so the make-up effects were basically pointless, no matter how good they supposedly were. None of the characters create any need to care about them. It's all the usual, predictable connect-the-dots till the unsurprising "open" end. Do the jackballs who greenlighted this piece of dogpoo really think there'll be a demand for a sequel? Dream on, First Look Studios... I am a zombie flick addict... this wasn't even a caffeine buzz. I’ve seen the complete film, without reading any reviews before-hand, and I wish I had!
