Zombies don’t run.
At least, George Romero’s zombies don’t. And since this is a remake of a Romero film (see the title), you can attribute the speed of the zombies in this to one of two things: Either it’s an artistic attempt at improvement, or it’s a hackish attempt at making them more “scary”.
I think the second. And since the movie itself is pretty generic by undead standards and at times really DUMB, the “re-imagining” produces only one superior idea: “Let’s hire a few real actors.”
Not…good…enough.
The first five minutes or so are pretty good if you saw the original and haven’t read this review, admittedly.
