Gory twist to the same old military lockdown story

Let's not blow smoke here... I liked the movie. However it wasn't a memorable multi-time watcher. The plot "twist" is predictable but still enjoyable. The acting was a slightly above par, with the deputy actually being the character with the most growth of the whole movie. Nonetheless I found it to be entertaining and left the theater with the feeling I had gotten my money's worth.
It's a standard Romero survival film with a pinch of small-town hopelessness. The main characters have hopes, dreams, and aspirations that all become afterthoughts when the sickness breaks out.
It's fast paced, it's suspense laden, it's got momentary comedy relief, and it left me fulfilled after watching it. These days who can complain about that?
