I saw the trailers and sat down expecting a new twist, but ultimately a classic Romero zombie flick. Yes, there was tension, there was fear, there was death and destruction. But I wanted more. I wanted hordes of the 'undead' shambling or running across the panoramic scenes. I didn't get 'em. Don't get me wrong. It's a pretty good film. And it's always nice to see a new spin on an old genre. What they did, they did very well. But I wanted both quality and quantity. Sadly the quantity was lacking. And did I manage to sleep through the girl in the gas mask? That could have been a marginal save. Worth borowing of a mate. But if you have to pay to watch it, just watch 28 Days Later again.
