When the United States completely capsized by zombies, a small group of survivors attempt to escape the land of death. They hide in a supermarket, but the zombies still like to go shopping. So all zombies are towards supermarkets. What will happen?
Nicely respectful of the original film, this remake amps up the adrenalin-charged action while skimping on the depth to deliver a gripping but empty-headed thrill-ride.
The remake, from first-time director Snyder, keeps much of the gore and loads up on the laughs, but eschews all pretence at cultural criticism in favour of high-octane, almost nonstop action.
The new version has its share of disturbing moments, but writer James Gunn and director Zack Snyder have stripped away the social satire of the original and put little in its place.
