What was scary in this movie? I went in expecting to be terrified -- all those critics' quotes in the ads and an 85 percent approval rating on rottentomatoes.com -- and I just waited and waited for this movie to get going. OK, MINOR SPOILER: The scene with the flat tire was a bit tense. But that was it -- unless you consider projectile blood vomiting to be scary. I, too, enjoyed the mood created at the opening. But the more we saw them, the more I despised those shake-the-camera sequences that passed for attack scenes. And then when the soldiers enter the story, well, it's not even a zombie movie anymore. The movie just turns Rambo-esque and rather predictable. Certainly one of the most overrated films of this or any other year.
