Movie Reviews of Dawn of the Dead (Widescreen Unrated Director's Cut)
Movie Review: Fast Running Undead The Advantage For The Living Is Cut Shorter
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually think this is one of the few good zombie movie re-makes that is out there. The first thing you find amazing and very scary is that these undead aren't the slow walking/stumbling kind but well actually give chase to whoever they are after which is a real kick in the nuts for the survivors in this movie. The second was the great acting most of the cast did as when you see them go to the mall and are suddenly trapped inside by the undead with really no other place to go at that time. You see how they interact and how they try to coexist with each other and the situation they find themselves in. The movie had a limited budget so don't expect great special effects an the like not that the effects and makeup they used was bad. The movie is very gory and bloody of course so we pretty much know this is not a family movie to show to the kids but if you're looking for a good horror or zombie movie this one is just for you...
Summary of Dawn of the Dead (Widescreen Unrated Director's Cut)
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 ShannonHorror DVD Video
