And you describe it so aptly - the horror of this film is the impending knowledge of a loved one's death - usually territory for maudlin drama, fits in nicely here. Also, I like that this film uses the Romero zombie, and takes for granted that controlling/killing them once they've turned probably isn't the hardest task in the world. The emotional consequences are paramount here, more than the rise of anarchic militias or hordes of walking dead.

Awesome review. <br /><br />Interesting that the only 2 Schwarzenegger horror movies ever made were reviewed back to back.

I also found a zombie film that broke the protocol and will be reviewing it soon but this one sounds like it took a very real perspective.Catfreeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06215307648862899154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-91531463691454212172015-10-05T23:10:39.591-07:002015-10-05T23:10:39.591-07:00Two Schwarzerneggar films in a row?
