Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
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

- When there's no more room in hell...I love this film, it shouldn't really be compared to the original as it is it's own film and should be considered in that respect.
The first scenes of zombie action are amazing, they are quite shocking and just consider how you would react to witnessing this sort of thing going on!
I never get tired of watching this film and after seeing it several times on tv I finally got around to buying the dvd and was impressed with the extras included, if you are a fan there is plenty on there to ... Read More

- A cliched try at a zombie filmI was really disappointed with this film. Everyone else seems to be comparing it to the original (which I haven't seen) and then basing it on it's originality to the original. But I'm going to base it on this version only. I did enjoy the zombie scenes. I thought they were perfectly gory and full of blood which is always good in this type of film. But the characters were so cliched! The guy Michael... how can the creators of this film try to pull him off as a hero? It just isn't happening. The hair ... Read More

- The best remake I have seen.I very much prefer this to the original, better in every way except the fact it is a remake.
The opening is truly excellent and throws the viewer straight in, from there it is a bit of a roller coaster for the first act. It eventually slows down to let the drama really breath before the third act where it picks up pace again.

- Zombie Blasting MayhemA nurse called Anna returns home after a days work at the local hospital, makes love to her husband and goes to sleep. She is woken when a girl who lives in the same road, comes into their bedroom and bites her husband. Despite her best efforts he dies and becomes a zombie. Anna escapes in her car, crashes and loses consciousness. When she awakes she teams up with a cop (Kenneth), a middle aged man (Michael), a crook (Andre) and his pregnant wife (Luda), who break into a shopping mall to seek refuge. ... Read More

- Excellent effortMost of us shudder at the idea of making a remake of what could be considered a classic whether it be a song or a film. It's refreshing to write that a very good job has been done on this version of Dawn of the Dead.
Whilst some people may argue that the characters are given less time in this than the original to develop, the whole notion of the crying female doesn't exist in this film. That was one aspect of the original I really didn't like - the lead female was portrayed as a feeble terrified ... Read More
