- A more expensive remake of George A. Romero's horror movie that is just another example of Hollywood consuming its past for no good reason; there's no life in these zombies even though they can move at speed.

  Is this anything to do with the original?
  
  Well, it's called Dawn of the Dead and there's a shopping mall in it but that where the simularity between this and the 1978 original stop!

  Where was the ending!!!!!
  
  Brilliant for anyone below the age of 25 but mostly BLOOD-BATH filled film with no really storyline or ending :(

  Another (decent) remake of a classic
  
  A quite respectful remake of the horror cult classic of the same name. I actually quite enjoyed this film and overall it was rather faithful to the original ... read more »

  Malled to death!
  
  A slick remake of the cult classic Dawn of the Dead, respectful to the original whilst also managing to be a great film in it's own right.

  Zombies Must Have Made This Film
  
  No plot, no characterisation - what a pile of b******s this movie is. Both 28 Days Later and Shaun Of The Dead are FAR superior. Serious disappointment.
