i'm pretty sure that this movie wasn't intentionally funny, and to me i didn't laugh at all, but it was a fresh zombie flick for a world where zombie movies are anything but fresh.

Pretty entertaining, and without any pretensions to being anything else.

A genuinly funny movie with some good effects. I'd compare it to Shaun of the Dead, only with relatively smarter zombies and less British humor.

So it's basically zombies running amok in a mall; where have I seen this before. But as the story runs its cheap, campy course, the film suddenly takes a remarkably dark and tragic turn, and out of nowhere there's a handful of genuinely poignant scenes capped off by a thought-provoking ending. WTF!? This turned out to be highly worthwhile on sheer "huh" factor.

I rarely say this about zombie movies, but this one manages to be entertaining before the zombies show up.
