Watched this last night with the Missus because i read it had some pretty good reviews. All in all, pretty poo to be honest. I know these sort of movies are not supposed to be taken too serious but i just found it very dull, the storyline was pretty weak and way too many cheesy moments for my liking. Just felt it didn't work. Anyone else seen it?

Aye, saw it Friday night.

I thought it was alright, nought special, just middle of the road.

Fair few plot holes, a brand new Zippo lighter pre-filled with lighter fluid? It's not the kind of film that you worry about things like that though.

Quite gory, a few predictable jumpy moments, fairly obvious story line.

I was quite surprised by the 70+% rating from Rotten Tomatoes but still enjoyed it.

Seemed like a slightly different take on the usual Night of the Living Dead style zombie-flick. You could see most of the scares coming a mile-off, but it didn't take forever to get going and I'd watch it again if it was on at 10 on a Friday night.
