Too clever to be a horror movie. The first act is incredibly enjoyable and hysterically silly. But once the second 2 acts have the 4 survivors holing up in a shopping mall and succumbing to a commercially materialistic instinct that should no longer exist in a world overrun by zo...( read more)
Still to this day, this is "THE" zombie movie. A bit dated, but still very effective.
