Really dug it, if only for the running zombies that everyone bitched about.

These same people obviously never saw Night of the Living Dead or Return of the Living Dead.

I just like things more when people needlessly bitch. :yay:

I really dug it too. When people complain about remakes, I say this proves they're jerkafaces. I liked it a lot. Not quite a remake, but more of a reimagining. I also really dug that we see the scene with the truck smashing into the pumps that the black guy in the original Night describes. Ties it all together like fancy shoe laces.

This is one of the best horror remakes ever, I'm still a bigger fan of the original though.

The blonde bimbo accidentally getting chainsawed in half by the topsy-turvy old man has got to be one of my favorite death scenes in a horror movie.

This one's fun.

Yeah, that's a highlight. :lol:

I have nothing against this movie for being a remake, but having seen it I can't really remember much about it apart from enjoying it a reasonable amount. I think Homer's law of brain capacity is starting to apply in my old age.
