The trailer for the movie was good. Too bad the movie wasn't. The eerie images had sensational angles, shadows, and lighting accompanied with music that matched went well during the trailer. It's a shame that we didn't see a lot of that in the movie. It made the movie seem stylish and scary. When the film stops, melts, and the zombies try to come for the audience out of the screen, that was a pretty clever way to end the trailer. They should have made the movie end that way, too! Most of the scenes in the trailer were at the beginning of the movie before the opening credits. In the movie, the director drew the viewer's attention to certain things that ended up to be insignificant. What was the point? Could it be to make us think it's going to have an interesting plot with twists? Well, don't think too hard about anything that goes on because it's pointless. Were the zombies everywhere? How far do you have to go to get away from them? And why did everyone end up at the mall? Did the mall employees all turn into real zombies? They should have put in computer generated flies around all the zombies. Now that would have been clever! This was supposed to be a horror movie, but it ended up more like a "HORRORble" drama with a few thrills thrown in during the first ten minutes.

The Colbys
(1985–1987)
"The Colbys" spun-off of "Dynasty" and was better!
21 August 2001
Legendary actors, moderate veterans and fresh newcomers came together nicely to bring the Colby family into our homes... They fought to keep their family together, but the fighting almost tore them apart. Brothers fought over the same woman, sisters fought over the same man... Jason (Heston) cared more about love than power and wealth. The characters were related to those on the hit "Dynasty," the Colbys and the Carringtons... and some characters appeared on both shows at times. The Colbys were more interesting and more dramatic than "Dynasty." Charleton Heston and Maxwell Caulfield acted very well opposite each other, as well as Stephanie Beacham and Barbara Stanwyck. I think the show would have been better if Pamela Sue Martin reprised her role as Fallon, or at least someone that acted more like the original. Mr. Bast should have at least written in some gay characters, since some of the actors were handsome enough, and that's one thing "Dynasty" had that this show lacked... Jeff Colby was given a very special gift and offer that he could not refuse in Los Angeles by his Aunt Constance (Stanwyck), and it changed him and brought him back to his true family... I loved this show and I still do, thanks to Soap Net!... It's too bad the show ended without a proper finale! Maybe they all should've been abducted by aliens, especially Zack Powers (who could have been transported to a fantasy island in another galaxy)! Jeff and Fallon returned to "Dynasty" and Sable and Monica popped up later in the series' run. The rest of the Colbys should have slowly appeared, too, even Miles (who was in the "Dynasty" finale special). And who knows, the series might have lasted longer!
