What I want out of a horror movie is true horror - I want to be scared! Unfortunately, this movie didn't scare me at all. It may be a cult classic, beautifully cut, have great scores or casting, or whatever. I don't care much about that. At the end of a day, the reason I rent a horror movie is for it to scare the creeping heck out of me.
The movie has lots of humor. I don't know if the gore is just cheesy or if it was made to be humorous, but that's what it is, and I appreciated that. However - IT DID NOT SCARE ME! Zombie hordes that you can easily plow through with a gun or a baseball bat, and who only hurt you because of your own stupidity aren't scary. They become more like enemy soldiers in, say a James Bond movie. There's no excitement when you know the hero will kill dozens of them without getting a single scratch (apart from, in this case, when the hero does something really stupid, causing the punishment on him/herself).
So I give it a 5 star out of ten because of its entertainment value as a decent action movie, but if you're looking to be scared - which as I have pointed out is the reason why I watch horror movies - look for another title.
