I can't really understand why anyone would want to see this frightful movie (or indeed why I did - some friends invited me and I went in a spirit of experiment). The complete predictability and utter vileness evidently make up a winning combination for some, and the audience demographic was overwhelmingly young male; one or two teenage girls were entertainingly frightened at first by the truly disgusting zombies and the succession of sickening ends visited on the human and zombie characters. But as time went by and they realised that only characters we didn't care much about were getting killed, the complete absence of suspence calmed them down.
Very dull - don't waste your money. If you want spectacular dismemberment and lots of blood, go see District 9 instead.
