(mca) Release Date: 09/30/2008 Run time: 215 minutes Amazon.com: Are you ready to get down with the sickness? Movie logic dictates that you shouldn't remake a classic, but Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead defies that logic and comes up a winner. You could argue that George A. Romero's 1978 original was sacred ground for horror buffs, but it was a low-budget classic, and Snyder's action-packed upgrade benefits from the same manic pacing that energized Romero's continuing zombie saga. Romero's indictment of mega-mall commercialism is lost (it's arguably outmoded anyway), so Snyder and screenwriter James Gunn compensate with the same setting--in this case, a Milwaukee shopping mall under siege by cannibalistic zombies in the wake of a devastating viral outbreak--a well-chosen cast (led by Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Jake Weber, and Mekhi Phifer), some outrageously morbid humor, and a no-frills plot that keeps tension high and blood splattering by the bucketful. Horror buffs will catch plenty of tributes to Romero's film (including cameos by three of its cast members, including gore-makeup wizard Tom Savini), and shocking images are abundant enough to qualify this Dawn as an excellent zombie-flick double-feature with 28 Days Later, its de facto British counterpart. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fair transfer to BDThis movie rocks and BD sound kicks up a notch an already gore drenched flick. I found the BD transfer grainey and was a little dissapointed with the quality, great movie though ,a must have for any horror movie collector. Rating:  - Best Zombie film ever.Scary zombies because they can "get you" as opposed to the blue skinned, orange blooded zombies of the 78 version. The only people who would be infected by the 78 version are the slow and the dumb, they only get you if you do things like I dunno, sit down and check your blood pressure for no reason as your surrounded by the slow movers. If you're a TRUE FAN of horror this movie is for you instead of some nostaglia you feel over a 30 year old movie that just doesn't hold up. Just be honest and judge ... Read More Rating: - Ode to Dawn of the Dead -- This one and the Old OneGeorge A. Romero discovered a universal truth: Zombies rock. What's not to love? Shambling, animated corpses with a taste for living flesh? Desperate survivors with trigger happy fingers decapitating said zombies with rusty machetes or well-aimed head shots? Zombies piling up like chords of wood? And the screaming! It's like Christmas at the organ donor shop. Romero's original "Dawn of the Dead" made in 1978 is a lot of things: horrifying, taboo-shattering, gory, and disturbing. ... Read More Rating: - Great addition to the Dead films!!!As a fan of the original Dawn of the dead; I feel that the director and writer did a great job in staying true to the original. The entire idea of zombies that feed on human flesh is an excellent way to stir up apocalyptic thoughts. After all it is as Romero himself says, "One generation rising up to devour the previous one." In the end we just can not escape evolution. This was modernized quite well, and I think that the new "fast zombies" bring true meaning to the word horror! I can still remember my reaction ... Read More Rating:  - Dawn of the DeadThis film was the worst piece of schlock that I have seen since 28 days/weeks later. The simple fact that a true classic was taken and ruined was a disgrace. The acting was weak the zombies were ridiculous. The direction and production sucked. The writing was weak. James Gunn is a hack and so is Zack Snyder. The fact that they had the gall to talk garbage about the original version of the movie that they were remaking show how low class they are. I will admit that the special effects were passable, but there was ... Read More |
