Dawn Of The Dead (Remake) Movie Review
Ok, here we are again for another horror movie review. This time the directorial debut of one Zack Snyder. The director that would go on to director two monster hits in 300 and Watchmen. And frankly this movie made a cool $102 million and was a real horror smash. It stars the great Ving Rhames, Sarah Polley, Jake Weber, and a really cool performance from Michael Kelly as everybodies favorite redneck asshole turned bad ass good guy before its all said and done. Now, the thing I loved about this movie is it took zombies and just put them steriods basically. They were fast moving hateful fucks in which there was no escape. It also has one of the best openings with a little girl being scary as fuck trying to eat Sarah Polley and her boyfriend. And you remember the scene where she leaps back to her feet and rushes the door. Damn. Zack really made a point to development some characters you really wanted to see live and some you couldn't wait to see die. Mix in some of the best gore of any damn movie in a long time (especially when it came out). And you had a remake that really fucking worked and basically along with 28 Days Later launched the re-birth of the zombie horror world. Throw in cameos from the original Dawn from Ken Foree and Tom Savini and this movie oozed with coolness. Not to mention one serious soundtrack with Johnny Cash and Disturbed. Not to mention the lounge hotel music of Down with the Sickness. This made this is a serious winner with me. Its a must own for any horror fan and one of my top 20 favorite horror movies of all time. And wait till the birthing scene. Oh yeah a real oh fuck moment in movie history. 5 out of 5 axes. Enjoy this masterpiece of horror goodness.
