Dawn of the Dead (2004)
From Amazon:
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...

Now this one REALLY went up horror fan's asses :)
Before I even get started, let me say that I saw this film four times in the theater. First run. Not even dollar theater.
The remake or not to remake debate flourishes in the horror community, with most proposed projects falling into the "don't" category. This was one of...

There are few good "re-imaginings" of classic B-horror movies these days. Dawn of the Dead is one of them in my humble opinion. I have become something of a Zombie movie aficionado these days (not quite to the level of a certain "Zombie Boy", but I am getting there.) George C. Romero was a pioneer when it came to horror,...

I need to admit a little secret. I've never watched the original version of this movie. I've seen some of the other installments that Romero did, but this one... nope.

I don't usually watch horror films. I have maybe seen three or four.
I'm not talking about old Dracula or Frankenstein movies, but the
current stuff. This film was so good that even a non fan like myself
would enjoy it.
The film was tense and action packed throughout. If you like blood,
this film had it, but it wasn't...

Zack Snyder, the man who brought us 300, directs this action packed remake of George A. Romeros Dawn on The Dead. James Gunn, the man who wrote Slither, brings us the amazing screenplay. Being as in remakes and sequels are taking over the movie world, its good to see a remake come out of a classic and succeed. This current...
