The story: The dead are rising! Two family try to hide out in their homes until morning, when the effect will wear off. However, things go bad and the families have to decide to help each other or turn on each other.
Was it good?
No. There's nothing wrong with the basic idea, and I'm a big fan of Hall and have wtached Gulager's work since FEAST. However, the story is just uninteresting. There's nothing new here. It basically is NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, but instead of strangers in one house, it is two families in separate houses. It's a shame, because zombies are such a good way to explore humanity. They easily could have made it a look at modern suburbs -- are neighbor's really friends? Are they stranger? And there was a relationship between the teens that could have played a part, but really it could have been taken out.
Watch instead: Warm Body (for a more interesting take on zombies), and classics like Night of the Living Dead (original), Return of the Living Dead
