The latter won out!
Bad acting, higgledy-piggledy direction and the same old same old with not a lot new to bring to the table is a bit underwhelming.
I will say however that some of the zombie effects and gore are not too shabby for a Scifi Channel production so maybe there is hope?
Such a shame, as a big zombo fan this is rather disappointing!
Maybe it will get better as it goes along but I doubt it so can only give it 4 hatchets on the horror scale at present after the first episode but it is early days, however a pilot should grab the viewer and showcase its best values which this has done weakly -We shall see!
