| Although it was a remake this was a very good movie. The homor in it (musak playing "dont worry, Be Happy") offset the Gruesome work that is expected in a Zombie movie. The Handheld cameras that they used made it feel a lot like the remake of Texas Chain Saw Massacre (another remake that I truely liked). This has brought more to this franchise than the "remake" of Night did. I could not get 30 minutes into Night before turning it off because it did not give me anythgin new to get nervous/anxious about, this did! | |
