    Remember the insta-rot and ceiling crawl ability afforded to the abominations in the turd festival otherwise known as the 2008 remake of Day?

    But it can't even count as a "remake", properly. It doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with Day, except a couple of character names that coincide with that Romero film. Sorry, but it's just not enough to qualify as a "remake". There has to be more "overlap" between the original and the "remake" in order for a film to count as such.

    That was my experience. It's not perfect but overall I really enjoyed it.

    Finished. Enjoyable, although had a couple of why the hell do that moments?

    eg: You find a lovely shopping center, all empty, and you do what? Block the automatic doors to ensure your continued health? No you pi$$ about with a shopping cart, shopping and leave the automatic doors to let any infected in.

    OR, when one or two infected run towards a HUGE group, EVERYONE fires, even at long range, to waste as much ammo as possible. And even if you're 4ft behind other people, you shoot right between their shoulders/heads, without worrying if you hit them, and without them caring about the noise 2ft behind their heads.

    To be fair that guy had to be the dumbest character in the show, but yeah that type of crap happened way too much in the show. Also I didn't mind how it was split up, but some of the scenes didn't seem to last long enough to warrant a split.

    The camerawork was great, they nail the long shots and setting an atmosphere of trepidation. The show was all atmosphere, but no substance. The dialogue exchanges were pretty convincing and the actors did great. But the logic made no sense; it was asinine. Their choice of action felt like it was to purely piss you off.
    The teenage kids at the school killing the characters off was awesome. I rooted for them.
    Some of the characters killed the atmosphere the show had set though. Like in one scene, the dude was running from a zombie, in the next scene he goes shopping like everything is okay. They run from the zombies and hide in the school, then he tries to play the drums. I just don't get it.
    Also a lot of plot points get brought up but never concludes.

    Spoiler territory:
    Why is there nobody at the stadium?

    Wasn't overly impressed. Even though it was brought to us by the Z Nation crew it doesn't (to its' credit) have the comedic efforts of the aforementioned series. The characters were by and large either stupid or vile, and results were inconsistent with abilities (lack of training and language barrier show difficulty with coordinated efforts.....followed by a highly successful score at the rave despite those deficiencies).
    I believe they have a green light for a second season and I'll watch it, if only in the hopes they'll redeem themselves.
