I think this is the first "normal" zombie movie that I've seen. (I've seen Shaun of the Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness, but those are more horror-comedy rather than horror)

Barbara's brother is kind of a jerk. (he mocks her for praying at their grandfather's grave)

Shaun of the Dead - We're Coming To Get You Barbara

The zombie in the opening is more intelligent than I expected.

I find it interesting that the zombies don't show any signs of being undead, so as far as anyone can tell, this person (and the others who just showed up) are just attacking people out of nowhere.

I get that Barbara is traumatized, but not saying a single word seems intentionally unhelpful. (Maybe she's racist?)

Barbara is about as useful as a zombie.

My mistake, it was her father's grave.

Mrs. Cooper is clearly already done with Mr. Cooper's attitude.

Mr. Cooper seems useless - first he complains about the shoddy workmanship, then he complains that the windows are boarded up too much so he can't see out of them. (at least Mrs. Cooper immediately calls him out and says he should do something to help)

I find it interesting that specifically the unburied dead come back to life. (also, that we only find this out an hour into the movie)

I feel like future movies ignore "radiation from Venus space probe" as an origin of the zombie pandemic.

Without the context of a zombie apocalypse, the presenter on the TV sounds like a sociopath. "The bereaved will have to forego the dubious comfort that a funeral can give. They're just dead flesh."

If not for the fact that she drove to the graveyard, I'd assume that the part of Barbara was written for a very young child.

Firing a gun AT a gas pump seems like a really dumb idea.

I realize that in reality, the actors are probably eating chicken or something, but the scene where they drag the bodies out of the car and eat them was disturbing to watch.

"Are they slow moving, chief?"
"Yeah, they're dead, they're... all messed up."

The delivery of that line made me laugh.

So far, Mrs. Cooper's death is the creepiest in the movie.

The ending was a weird mix of bleak (for the main characters) and hopeful (for the world at large).
