Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent). And now... we will run away for 45 minutes.
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good). Great effects, bad design.
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). I guess they couldn't think of an ending (even though the ending is one of the few great things about the book); instead it just turns into a zombie movie. Still good, though. Plenty scary, with an entertaining cast.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.6/4 (Good)
