i never had a need for order or coherency ..
i just didnt like the piecemeal student film feel to it ..
it had more in common with those later corman films where he'd chop a bunch of films together into one.
i admit, had i first seen it 20 years ago i probably would also be a champion of this film today - getting off on the cheap but entheusiastic gore effects - but having 1st seen it just 1 year ago (with huge expectations) i was dissapointed .. just found it foolish and inept. not lacking coherence - just laking sense.
wasnt looking to dislike it - was really looking forward to something nuts.
i did enjoy 28 days later though .. i liked the human side of it .. it was the part of the film i concentrated on and enjoyed
