It's like The Birds without the birds.  Brings that big unsettling feeling, but not the character relationships as in a, say, Signs.

A lot of video gamey CG, "running zombie" type silliness, and still strays pretty far from the source material; but on the whole the film works well.  Much better than the ol' Chuck Heston take.

This is a pretty simple story that they really stretched a bit too much to try and make a 2+ hour epic of it.

Forget stretching; it feels like half the movie is crazy events from whole cloth to add more conflict between... well, all parties.

Hard to peg this one.  Unique, but less than the first.  Tries too hard to hit the high points of the original.  Biggest CG wonder is... Jeff Bridges?  And the whole premise still makes no sense.
