Dawn Of The Dead

This being the First Zombie movie to take place in multiple locations and to do it successfully, is the original dawn of the dead, despite being old and dated, and using orange zombie blood, and not soo good makeup effects for zombies, this movie has a resonable plot that only fails a little at the end and has great sequences, that even the latest version did not have

Johnny Mnemonic

Most likley not going to be highly remmbered, this movie could have been awesome, but due to a budget, its one you have to watch with a grain of salt, concepts and ideas show in this film, as well as some of the style is excellent, while at other times it is quite awfull, despite having a wide variety of cast this film suffers from the script missing two key plot markers, and the budgets effects while dazzing at times, are lacking in others

Dawn Of The Dead

the first of only three decent serious zombie movies to hit the big screen in the past decade, this movie could have been better in both plot, and settings, recreating the original in only a minor way, it does not deserve the amount of negative reviews, i like to remind this movie was a success, and why there is no sequal i dont understand why not, the only major let down apart from the lack of multiple settings of the original which had a city scene, a traveling across infested country, a gas station scene then 2 dozen areas of a mall while this has at most 8 areas, this combined with 2 bad plot circles stop this film from being the best zombie film of all time, but still this film, is a must for anyones collection as its one of the best in a long long time,

Day Of The Dead

Day of the dead was my least favourite George A Romero, zombie flick simply it becomes predictable, but it still enjoyable to watch at times, it suffers from a singular plot structure and can leave you Depressed, especially like the last film the ending is pretty much the same

Doomsday

considering how many scottish people where p****d off at this film, im surprised i still enjoyed this film, while it could have been far far better, the sheer insanity and sometimes stupidity of the film makes it enjoyable, it would have been nice if they spent sometime learning the archecture of glasgow, in oppose to assuming they could swap so much of it out for other citys, an example would be "american" bus's and a telephone box that has not been native to scotland, but only to london would be a big giveaway, or howabout putting houses in the city centre where even tourists know there is no homes, its almost as if all they got was 3 postcards from the area and did no research this film had a great concept, a great budget, a great cast, but fails to poor script writing, directing and info gathering
