I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Will it not has good has the original Night of living dead from 1968. This animated remake is pretty good. It is scary. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street. If you what to see a really scary movie. You should see this movie

So, the primary complaints I've read about this film all have to do with the low quality of the animation, and, well...they're not wrong. For a film that was released post- 2005, the animation is decidedly unimpressive. The art itself isn't bad, but...it's also not fantastic.As for the script and acting, I'd give this a solid 9/10. The score is equally impressive, and does a fantastic job of ratcheting up the suspense. Although definitely faster- paced than the Romero 1969 original, were it a live-action film, it would be right at home with some of the more recent zombie fare.It is without a doubt better than the woeful Day of the Dead remake from the mid-00s, being both better-written and better-acted. Giving some of the characters better backstories definitely helped to build a better rapport with them, and you end up caring for them, save for Hank Cooper, for whom no one has ever cared.Overall, it's definitely worth watching if you're a fan of the genre, though you most certainly have to get past the unimpressive animation.

The dead have come back to life and a group of survivors take shelter in a city apartment building. I must admit was was really looking forward to the retelling of a classic, Night of the Living Dead: Darkest Dawn, (formally Night of the Living Dead: Origins) especially given the horror talent involved. Directed by Krisztian Majdik, Zebediah De Soto their animated CGI effort echoes the likes of the Resident Evil Damnation and Resident Evil: Degeneration but visually doesn't meet their standard.What it lacks with the video game like presentation it makes up for with its great voice characterisations. There's the talent and eerie animated likeness of horror favourites Tony Todd, Bill Moseley (both reprising their characters from the 1990 remake) , Danielle Harris (Halloween IV & V), Joseph Pilato (Day of the Dead) and character actor Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan).Following the 1968's narrative there's a few interesting story tweaks that are welcomed on the refreshing contemporary city set backdrop. With countless rip offs and cash-ins already made, fans who like original may be pleased, as this is arguably one of the better adaptations since Savini's 1990 remake. While the visual graphic aesthetics aren't too hot, quite frankly a little disappointing (and another remake is debatably unnecessary) the voice work and story changes make it worth a viewing. For zombie completist fans.

This would have been possibly impressive if it was fan made. A bunch of people, getting together and deciding to do yet another sequel/stand alone movie of the legendary series with what they could afford. But it wasn't the case, the ones involved in the making of this production are important people and I would have expected more. The beginning of the movie is rather hard to swallow, as the graphic switches from color to color, to a lot of flashes and the close ups on the characters reveal the weak graphics used. Some may praise it I guess, I for one was seriously irritated by it.The plot is not bad, of course, as common as possibly, I do believe that the series gave away its last coup of milk, I was actually kept there, in front of the screen but when it all ended, I felt more frustrated than anything. I won't recommend it unless you are a die fan of the series. I don't know what they wanted to prove. Yet again.Cheers!
