Shame about how predictable it was in the end.
Best bit:

As for Zombie movies - The Night of the Living Dead is a classic. Dawn of the Dead is a must. Day of the Dead is fn marvellous. Return of the Living Dead is ruined by the '80s. 
28 Days Later is fantastic for it's genre. Acting is good, cinematics are pretty wicked, and the sense of isolation (Empty World kinda stuff) is unbelievable. It's derivative of George Romero's 'Dead' series though. You gotta watch those.
And if you like Peter Jackson, get 'Brain Dead' (Renamed 'Dead Alive' for American Audiences) from your video store. Nothing like eating your ear from your custard |
