I feel the actual story is lightweight and kinda fizzles out. It doesn't affect me like the originals.
It's set years after Day so if one zombie can gain a form of intelligence it goes without saying others will too.

Embellishing a theme isn't the same as lifting scenes directly from previous films which is what Halloween did.

Besides it's Romero taking the zombie timeline a stage further. I'd avoid Survival of the Dead totally if you don't appreciate that.
