DAWN OF THE DEAD (REMAKE)
Pretty good.PLOT
Anna returns home after a long day at the hospital and curls up in bed with her husband. That night, a neighbor girl appears and when her husband tries to help the girl, he gets bit and infected. Anna manages to escape and along the way, runs into other survivors who are trying to find the local mall. She joins their group and the gang of them get inside the mall, though the security guards aren’t happy about sharing their space. The group, including a pregnant woman, have to band together to survive and possibly escape with their lives.
TRIVIA
This is one of the movies credited with turning zombies into super fast creatures.
Though James Gunn is given writing credit on the movie, he actually left during the writing phase to work on Scooby Doo 2. How scary is that?
THOUGHTS
I actually really like this movie. The remake of Dawn of the Dead updates the zombie movie genre in a way that brings it into the modern millennium in a good way, unlike some of the zombie movies that came later. It has a high level of blood and some pretty gruesome scenes. I’m thinking zombie baby right off the top of my head. I’ve probably seen this movie a dozen times since it was released in theaters and watching it again, it still holds up pretty damn well.
