             An epidemic of zombies breaks out in Milwaukee (we’ve been in Milwaukee, dangerous place!) and a group of survivors make their way to a mall where they run into zombies and gun-toting right-wing thugs.
       And that’s just the beginning. It’s a remake of the 70’s version, which we haven’t seen. Unfortunately, our viewing was disturbed by a DVD that hung itself up now and then, but we got most of it. It’s exciting with relatively well-done characters so what more do we want? Well, more. It’s entertaining but I expected it to be better.
