Just finished it. Woah, I liked it even more this time than I did when I first saw it over a year ago. Lots of great kills, bites, setpieces, and everything you'd expect from a GOOD, high quality zombie film. Above all that, the two leads and their stories were brilliantly handled and fleshed out enough to make them both feel like real human beings. The locations and the film's overall look was very refreshing, especially in this subgenre which has grown rather stale over the last decade. I do wish the look of the zombies had been altered (hated the funky, Flight of The Living Dead-esque look to their eyes) and while

Watched it for the third time a couple nights ago and...its weird, but I didn't like it as much as I did the second time but liked it more than I did the first time. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it or maybe it was because I was so stoked about seeing the second one. :P Still doesn't take from the fact that for the most part, this is a GREAT movie.

This was a really troubling effort that could've been something special but instead is an overblown, misguided effort. The main factor in this is the incredibly lengthy running time this has, which goes on for well over twenty minutes past it's welcome because it has to feature scores of scenes where they're overcome by the futility of their mission or the hopelessness of the situation, and it doesn't create a grandiose, epic feel like it was intended to be but rather an overblown and entirely overlong effort. There's still some good stuff here, such as the incredibly effective zombies in here which are among some of the best non-Italian ones ever created in terms of screen-presence, make-up and effective scariness, as these slow, shuffling beings with their glowing eyes and dark, blood-stained skin create quite an impact and that they're taken seriously is another big effect. With plenty of confrontations packed within and lots of blood and gore, there's a lot to like here but it's undone by it's self-imposed grandiosity.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.

I actually didn't mind that this movie was slow, though I can see why somebody might find it boring. The zombies were incredibly scary; they were slow and shambling, but they never have to stop, whereas people have to, which this film recognizes in one of its best scenes. The scenery, cinematography, and gore also looked a lot better than what you'd normally expect from a low-budget zombie movie. The characters, however, were what made the film for me. Brian and Daniel were an excellent team together, and you can tell their different, worlds-apart backgrounds from how they interact with each other and the world around them, and I truly cared about them and their journey.

The various minor characters, from the villagers to the one woman with the baby, also felt real. It felt like a movie that showed off the best of Africa (odd, given that it's a movie about the apocalypse), from the landscape to the people, while also being a really good, though not necessarily fun, zombie movie with both plenty of creeping dread and some great money shots.

My full review is here.
