Customer Reviews
The characters are fairly shallow - especially the women who, apart from our heroine, fall into the freudian stereotypes of the virgin and mother.
The shopping mall setting and the fact that there are zombies are the only real links to the 1978 classic. The social commentary on American consumer culture has been put aside in favour of more action and suspense.
These critisisms aside, the film is quite well shot and directed. It successfully creates a very tense atmosphere and keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat throughout. Some nice use of music such as the Jonny Cash track that plys out the opening credits (one of the best elements to the film).
Overall - not a bad film at all. But probably better thought of as a reference to the original rather than a remake (especially for die-hard Romero fans).
Looking at other recent remakes (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Ring etc.) you're perfectly entitled to feel a little bit cautious as to whether this film is going to be much cop....I know I was! Especially given that the original is one of my favourite films.
Don't worry though. It's a great film! The feeling of dread may be missing but it's replaced by tons of adrenaline-fueled terror(Thanks to the change in Zombies' speed) and the special effects and gore are second to none. What this film also has is a great sense of humour.....which is just what's needed at certain points!
Overall, this remake is not better or worse than the original, it's different. It runs at a much different pace, emphasises have changed and it's far more about fun and thrills than doom and despair.
Go see it! I recommend it.
