Like the hot chick, who seemed to only be there to look good and then have a cool death. And the old guy who was trying on women's shoes. I don't remember either of their names.

Also, how come the gun store guy died so quickly? He got bit, and then was a zombie like 2 minutes later. The other people who only got bit died hours later. He specifically says that he was "a little dinged up, but ok"....any ideas? Or did i just miss something?
I remember he said they "got him good" or they "bite really hard" or something like that. Maybe the bite was bad enough to kill him quickly. But yeah, I thought that was odd how quickly he died.

Overall, I thought the movie was a lot of fun. It had too many slow moments, though, and some of them could've been better used to develop the paper-thin characters. That's one thing that really irritated me. I know it's a zombie flick, but some time could be devoted to making the characters more than cardboard cutouts.

I'd probably go see it one more time. I enjoyed it, but I went in expecting what I got. I wasn't expecting an Oscar contender, but this flick could have been a lot better than it was.
