CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert	6	...a perfectly competent genre film in a genre that has exhausted its interest for me, the Zombie Film.
Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips	8	One of the year's nicest bloody surprises...
E! Peter Paras	7	...more effective as a thrill ride than a truly scary experience.
filmcritic.com Bill Gibron	4	...Eisner's take is all tone and atmosphere, with very little dread to go around.
New York Post Kyle Smith	4	...a bore, and we're talking about the most boring genre this side of dysfunctional-family indie drama.
Slant Magazine Simon Abrams	8	...easily the most accomplished bit of contextless, big-budget pre-apocalyptic doomsaying since Zack Snyder's 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead.
New York Times Mike Hale	6	The problem with The Crazies? Not crazy enough.
Los Angeles Times Andy Klein	7	...may be a curious choice to remake, but it's not a bad one.
LA Weekly Chuck Wilson	7	...Eisner stages a series of nifty action sequences, nearly all of which feature a moment of surprise, as well as gruesome wit...
Village Voice Chuck Wilson	7	...Eisner stages a series of nifty action sequences, nearly all of which feature a moment of surprise, as well as gruesome wit...
Onion AV Club Keith Phipps	6	...throws in a couple of the fake-out shocks and cheap jolts that have plagued modern horror movies for decades.
Christian Science Monitor Andy Klein	6	...aesthetically justifiable, only because the original wasn’t very good.
Variety Dennis Harvey	7	...emerges an above-average genre piece that's equal parts horror-meller and doomsday action thriller.
