Quote
There isn’t much acting here, but there is entirely too much vomiting, and the prose turns laughably purple, too. When all those ferocious, carnivorous zombies converge from everywhere at once, spewing blood and screaming in a virulent, aggressive and psychotic rage, I could not suppress a giggle. In the old days, a feverish programmer like 28 Weeks Later would’ve ended up on the bottom half of a double bill. Today it gets welcomed by some reviewers as an antidote to tedium. Desperate times produce desperate critics. — The New York Observer
