should have kept it in the station


I've seen this movie and if they had kept the action in the radio station, rather than giving us all that nonsense on the street and outside, this would have been a way better movie. The suspense and tension would have been way more intense. Especially with Bill Moseley in the lead role. He was able to carry the role very well. Anyone else agree?

Hmm...does this include the television broadcasts? I think we need to see a little of the chaos going down in the city. The motorcycle chase was a bit unneeded though. Why would anyone try something that stupid...?



And THAT is where babies come from.

I agree with both ... i alwsys thought it would be a good movie to have just guys trapped in a bulding for the first day watching things and listening to the tv and radio of whats going on. the motercycle rescue attempt was just stupid and the muslim guys really slowed things down. other than that it was a pretty good zombie movie

Yes, the muslim guy thing confused me. What was the point of planting the virus...then telling the guy to blame the muslim religion in particular? And why give them anti-serum? Why not just have them all shoot themselves? They're obviously willing to do it...well, most of them...

The motorcycle ride wasn't terrible. I liked the idea of having Gil reporting in as it went. But it went on a little long.

I work at a small market radio station, and we have to go out and cover things. So I enjoyed the segment, it was an interesting idea to get a report from the outside into the station.

We use tielines though, they're a stationary unit that we call in on.

I love to love my Lisa.
