100 things I learnt from this movie

17: When driving away, if you have a choice to run into three zombies or run off the road, run off the road.

I also had high hopes for this film. Like many others, I also found the cover/ movie poster misleading. Just to illustrate how much this movie had me gripped in my seat, I took up knitting while the film played on my TV screen....
