It's a pity that studio lackeys have voted this film up to 8.8 (as of 28th Jany 2006), because it doesn't deserve to wipe the boots of classic like the Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Casablanca and others that legitimately earn their 8+ scores. As the genuine scores roll in, expect to see this one plummet to a 2 or 3.
I've seen many people declare on IMDb that a film was "the worst they'd ever seen" and thought that they were exaggerating, but this film is truly, the very worst, most carelessly written, worst scripted, worst acted, worst explained insult to celluloid ever to waste 90 minutes of anyone's time.
I thought that the new version of The Fog was poor, but it's an Oscar winner compared to this garbage. Did no one with a reading age over 7 years bother to take a look at this abysmal dialogue before filming?! If the scene in the lab with the college professor doesn't convince you that you're in for a bad experience, then nothing will. Take my word for it, that's an early warning - take heed and stop watching now, and go watch a decent action horror instead. I recommend the new Dawn of the Dead, or any of Romero's classics. For light relieve, you could definitely do far worse than Shaun of the Dead.
This film should rightly be a blot on the career of all involved, and if there's any justice, the director and script-writer will never again have the opportunity to waste anyone else's time and money.
