Reply #9: I'd have to say [View All]

I didn't care that much for the remake. This is not to say that it was necessarily a bad film. But I found that I didn't care about any of the characters the way I did in the original. The nurse was okay, but the rest of them were flat. Also, the social commentary about consumerism is sorely lacking from the new one. The remake lacks much of the depth that the original film had, and I quickly forgot about it when I left the theater. When I saw the original one many years ago, it stayed with me for months, and today is still one of my favorite horror films of all time. If you want a good zombie experience, stick with the original.
P.S. The original one starts off in a TV station, but the majority of the movie takes place in a mall, and unlike the new one the humans actually have to seize control of it from the zombies before they take refuge there.
