We're going to the mall. Why? You need shoes. Okay.Shshhhhhh be very careful there might be zombies in the mall. *Throws the toilet seater to the window* Careful. Walk very slow. There might be deaf zombies around. Shhhh.

It contains little character development, and ignores the social commentary provided by the original and instead focuses on creating an action flick. Nonetheless, in this respect, it works. It's scary, gory and fun; and its opening sequence is one of the best and most tense opening sequences of all time.

This is a good remake is not better then the original film of course George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978) is a classic but this film is a good follower and Sarah Polley is fantastic in her role. This is the only good movie Zack Snyder has ever done and I have been watching a lot this movie. I have it on Blu-ray disc and this film was really the first zombie film I saw before I purchase an watch the original film.The special effects were done by Heather Langenkamp from a Nightmare on Elm Street ,A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and New Nightmare. My favorite heroine Nancy Thompson did special effects for the zombies for this movie. This is my all time favorite zombie horror film that I have watch it more then once Ving Rhames is also good likable character much better then he was in Undisputed.A mysterious virus is bringing the dead back to life as vicious re-animated corpses that go fast and feed upon the living. One morning, a nurse (Sarah Polly) escapes from her house after her husband was turned into a zombie as she escapes on the road only to be later crashed without being killed. She teams up with a reluctant police officer (Ving Rhames) whom helps her up and joins with other human survivors (Mekhi Pfeifer, Ty Burrell, Lindy Booth, Jake Weber, Michael Kelly, and Kevin Zegers) as they seek shelter in a large shopping mall. Unfortunately there is a few monsters inside that can be eliminated by a bullet to the skull, as now the living must try to survive as they battle out with the killer dead and try to find a way to escape.When i first heard back in late 2003 when George A. Romero's masterpiece "Dawn of the Dead" from 1978 was going to be remade, i was really upset. I mean why mess with something that wasn't even broke in the first place? Then when i saw the trailer to it, i thought it might not be so bad. Afterall the original 1978 version is one of my favorite movies of all time, i did went to see this version in the theater and was pleasantly surprised of how well this was well made.This is a spectacular update of George A. Romero's classic and worked just like the 1990 remake to "Night of the Living Dead" , this movie offers great performances by the cast and marks the debut of visionary Zack Sydner who gave us "300" and the upcoming "Watchmen". this movie is loaded with action and over the top gore like exploding heads, implements and of course the zombies here are fast like in the tradition of "Return of the Living Dead", "Nightmare City", "Lifeforce" or "The Stuff". Although it misses out on the excellent social satire that made the original the classic it was, but this is a brilliant and fun re-imagining that is a solid winner.Score A 9/10 I would have give it 10 but the original George A. Romero movie is way better but for 2004 this I a great horror film.

Its a lot of zombie-movies out there. A lot of them are good and some of them are poorly made. This one isn't in the same category. Its to good. All the friends I have shown this for.. Not all of them even like zombies. They all love it.It's good actors, good environment, good shooting.. And a very good story. Other films like shawn of the dead, land of the dead, day of the dead are close but they are a bit messy. This one keeps the red line all through the movie.I would like a number 2 of this movie. Like what happened after all of this.
