CINEMA: Megaplex 20 at the District, South Jordan, UT
AUDITORIUM: 4
PRESENTATION: 35mm/Mystery Meat Digital
PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: None [Cool]

RATING: Two and one half stars (out of four)

Somebody here still knows how to run a film projector. Nice steady picture.

THE PLOT: Some dude goes crazy. Then some other dudes go crazy. Wackiness ensues.

This is a very little nonsense straightforward zombie action flick with a bend on the dark side (there's no camp factor here) and minimal 'wandering' sequences. The effects/music soundtrack is mixed well. It also has an excellent horror car wash scene. Having said that, it also doesn't really stand out as something special.

I was surprised with how many whole families attended this with children just barely in their teens. But the kids all seemed cool with it.
