Yet another great horror remake to add on the shelf. Not the classic of Romero's, but an awesome zombie flick for the fans. check it out. |

While not a terrible remake, it has lost most of the spunk from the original. The premise remains the same, though, as there are some really freaky parts. Honestly, it is a remake that should never have been remade. |

Sure, it throws out the satire that made the original dawn so fun - but this remake is still pretty good. It could have lost a few more character and be more focused, but overall it was good. I especially like the opening 15 minutes. |

Action: 3 / 3, Comedy: 2 / 2, Good vs Evil: 1 / 1, Love/Sex: 1 / 1, Special Effects: 0.5 / 1, Plot: 0 / 1, Music: 1 / 1 = 8.5 / 10 or 85%.
Remakes are not usually this high caliber, but the ride is fun as well as scary. It presents the zombie elements of 28 Days Later to a higher level of comedy. |

Has a Certain Campiness |
|
I find this zombie film interesting because it’s more disgusting than scary. Although it has its gasp-out-loud moments, they are balanced with dark humor that can be found in the characters’ idiosyncrasies. I haven’t seen the original “Dawn of the Dead” (at the time I was writing this review) so I can’t compare this to that one. However, I like the certain campiness that this picture has because once it gets amusing, the real horror pops out of nowhere. There are two most memorable scenes for me: the beginning when Sarah Polley wakes up as a zombie enters her home and the ending when everyone makes their escape despite an ocean of the undead. I also enjoyed the commentaries about individualism, abortion, and capital punishment. All of those issues were deftly sewn into the film. My main p... |

Very violent, but certainly not for everybody |
|
A group of people from various walks of life are trapped in a huge shopping mall as a strange, unknown (and unexplained in the movie) virus turns all outside the mall into the walking dead -- or zombies.
This movie is one of the most graphic, violent movies I have seen in areal long time. They show you just about everything when it comes to the destruction of the zombies. It is not for the weak of heart.
The special effects, and make-up effects are incredible. I have a feeling that when it first came out, it made a good chunk of the audience squirm in their theater seats. They spent a lot of money on the special effects and make-up, and that's a good thing for a movie of this kind.
You can pretty much tell who will make it to the closing credits at the end of the movie because... |
