I finally watched the original “zombie”* film the other day. It was okay, and I can definitely see how the idea has developed in the later films. Taken as a stand alone film it was slow, but it was worth it for the nice ending.

It was also good to see a zombie film where there was no vegetarian zombie joke. It was barely funny the first time I heard it, and flims like Zombie Honeymoon (which I also saw last week) just execute it poorly.

* – Even if the word zombie is never used.
