With it being Halloween season I thought I'd watch this for the first time and I have to say it's not bad at all. I do love watching films, horror in particular, from years ago, because it really emphasises how far cinema has come. Off the bat you have this really fake blood everywhere and over the top acting to get you scared. However, it's still fun and that's what makes these films great.
I won't do a huge review, just gonna quickly whack down the bits that annoyed and move on.
1. Characters. A couple were very unlikeable, but overall I'd say 50% of them were just forgettable. Like, I've just seen this film and I cannot remember the names of most. I thought a few of them would make some really annoying and illogical decisions also.
2. The first half of the film I thought was quite slow paced. The second half was really fun, but the first was just a little boring.
3. Is it scary? No. I think this might be more to do with what people found scary 17 years ago, but there isn't really any jump scares or anything. It's more just a classic case of zombies everywhere.
Having said all that, it's a fun film. The final half an hour or so is brilliant and I was completely absorbed by it. I got massive Left 4 Dead vibes watching this and I loved that gaming franchise. But yeah, it's an fun and entertaining film. Don't expect a serious, in depth horror though, because you will be let down. I'd recommend, it's definitely above average, hence the 6/10. But it's not much more than that, just take it as it is and have a bit of fun and see some zombies die.
