Saw this at a midnight festival the other day and wasn't sure what to expect, but I've been on a zombie kick lately, and I was pleasantly surprised. I liked this one a lot. It's a little different than some other zombie movies, more like an action movie, but it worked...and there were a few twists that took me and the people I was with by surprise, which is hard to do, because I've seen a LOT of these kinds of movies, and thought I'd seen it all. At one point the whole crowd just sort of gasped, one of those 'did I just see what I think I saw?' moments. very cool.
There are long stretches without any zombies but I didn't really mind because there was enough other stuff going on, and every time I started thinking I hadn't seen any zombies in a while, they'd come back (and usually do something really cool (there's a scene in here that's one of the sickest I've ever seen, in a good way!) The action scenes in this one are good, too, you can tell what's going on, not like Batman Begins or some of the 28 days later stuff.
I liked the characters, even though there weren't really any 'good guys,' some of them were likable...I won't say which ones get killed or when, but it definitely wasn't who I expected.
All in all, a really good film that went by FAST. Reminded me of early John Carpenter, but faster paced.
