This stands out in the glut of recent zombie films. Only sticking point would be the lead actor seems wooden.

This already looks 10 times better than the last two Romero movies.

Fulci would be smilling ear to ear. It definitly gives that fucl style and oh does it look so promising, plus thank god there is actual slow zombies in it, so fucking tired of the fast kind

Now THAT looks like a great fuckin' zombie film! And what a fantastic and novel location for a zombie apocalypse! The trailer really does give off that classic Fulci feeling of impending dread and doom.
