    You're trapped in a mall with a few other people, outside there are fast, flesh eating zombies. There are supplies inside the mall for you to live on for a while, but how long will they last...Exactly. Great movie, very scary, don't expect a happy ending!

    by Zombie_master_1322

    Dont get me started on this movie when i watched it i was alone...in the dark... in my basment when i got to the end i was grateful i dident pee my self back to the move it was great the slight humor kept you in reality and the twists in the story keep you awake the movie has one setting. altho i think what made th movie was the ecellent acting by Jake Weber. outstanding use of music by an out standing artist.
