Jonathan Rosenbaum
The new version has its share of disturbing moments, but writer James Gunn and director Zack Snyder have stripped away the social satire of the original and put little in its place.
The remake, from first-time director Snyder, keeps much of the gore and loads up on the laughs, but eschews all pretence at cultural criticism in favour of high-octane, almost nonstop action.
Michael Atkinson
Only gore-thirsting teens will be satisfied.
Richard Roeper
... bloody good fun.
James Berardinelli
For those who enjoy tight, tense, graphic horror, this movie offers an ample helping.
Michael O'Sullivan
It more than surpasses the original.

Sorry George, the remake is better My favorite movie in the whole-wide-un-dead-fast-running-zombie-world! Zombies and survivors at their finest. Makes me sad it will never come true
Great zombie apocalypse film. I am a zombie story fan but hate the campy films. This is a serious what if tale. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good edge of your seat thriller.

When Steve Freeling moves his family into a new house in the development where he is the top homes salesman, it looks like things are going well for him and his family. But as his wife, Diane, and his children, Dana, Robbie and little Carol Anne, begin to unpack and settle in, strange things start happening. Almost playful at first, a mysterious force begins stacking chairs on the kitchen table, or making objects slide across the floor. But the ghostly antics soon turn terrifying as the house, or something in it, starts attacking the Freeling family, and Carol Anne is abducted by evil spirits still trapped on Earth, looking to use her innocence to get into the afterlife. This truly frightening film was written and produced by Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg ("War of the Worlds"), directed by horror movie master Tobe Hooper (the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre"), Craig T. Nelson ("The Invisibles"), Jobeth Williams ("Fever Pitch") and Zelda Rubinstein ("Sixteen Candles"). MPAA Rating: PG Copyright © 1982 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
