I liked it. A lot.
No gore, all atmosphere.
Disturbing images, vividly shot with a documentary style made me in the picture.
Jump Meter: 3 (I jumped out of my seat three times.)
Characters were great. How do people survive? Why do people survive? In such a bleak situation, why don’t they just kill themselves? How do they convince themselves not to just lay down and die? What do we hold on to? What do we really hold on to? What keeps us going?
It isn’t enough just to throw a bunch of people together in an old house and watch them disintigrate. That worked once, and when Romero did it, he did it better than anybody else. New questions, new observations, new answers.
And zombies. Very, very scary zombies.
I liked it. It scared the hell out of me.
And proves, once again, that special effects don’t scare people.
Their own minds do.
