The new zombie standard

The bar for zombie movies has been raised. You almost can't say zombie since they don't stumble around blindly searching for "BRAINS". The concept here is a highly contagious virus called "RAGE" that the government has been developing for use as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. The afflicted go berzerk, killing anything in there path. They are fast and they know how to operate a door knob. Contact with their blood and you have thirty seconds before you become a raving bloodthirsty maniac. The whole voodoo concept of a gas that reanimates the dead or a spell that opens a portal to hell seems so yesterday now. Now movie makers are challenged to keep up with our fears of secret govt. testing facilities and Chemical warfare. Great movie. Great concept. High speed camera work to match your heart rate. Focuses less on the rotting flesh special effects and more on the tactical response needed to stay in front of the advancing hordes. For zombie-files, this is a must see, must own flick.
