I've seen and read more movies and books about zombies than I can possibly begin to count ... until now, Shaun of the Dead was the only other film that dared to combine 'average' people and comedy in the realm of zombies ....
Also, Woody Harrelson is definitely a major draw for the movie ... he's highly recognizable and one helluva an actor ...
This movie serves up horror in a refreshingly unique way ... a smorgasboard of humor, action, cool special effects and make-up mixed with an interesting story line AND a special cameo appearance that'll only make you appreciate the movie even more ...
if you like zombie and/or action movies and are looking for something entertaining and fun, definitely see this movie ...
As the mother of an 18 year old daughter, I cried during the brutal rape scene.
however, there's a message here; in this world we live in, what happened to the girls was rather realistic even if graphically illustrated. You make a stupid choice to go to a motel with some guy you've never met to buy pot ... terrible consequences ensue.
The parents exacting such deserving vengance on the low life scumbags who inflicted harm on their child; it's about time someone portrayed it in such a way that the viewer could actually connect with the characters and casting was perfect in this movie.
the only negative I have to say, is the very last scene of the movie was unnecessary and rather unrealistic
