These film makers got it right. Yeah, so you don't' have a budget to compete with the big boys, don't try. They approached the zombie film from a different angle, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I do think they should have shown the people being attacked in the beginning of the film. I know it's not what the film is about, but just a little more gore wouldn't have hurt. I have no idea why this is rated R, I'm sure the film makers wanted a pg13 rating for a wider audience. I don't remember seeing this film advertised on TV though. Tight story though, I can only watch Dawn and Day of the dead so many times. I liked the mood and general sad tone of the whole film also. no cheesy ending where the zombies rule the earth, or they get cured by some serum. More zombie films should be this stylish.
