Much better than expected

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2004)

I was looking forward to seeing this one with just the slightest bit of trepidation. After the god awful Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, I was afraid this would disappoint as well, I'm glad I was wrong. The acting wasn't anything spectacular, but in the case of Dawn of the Dead, who goes to see great acting. The pace is fast...so fast I was afraid to blink. The undead were not the plodding idiotic zombies of days past, these things are relentless, and super quick. I really enjoyed this film. I'd rate it a solid 8 of 10 Also in closing...SPOILER ALERT I've read several reviews that say they hated the sappy ending....well stay through the closing credits...its not as happy as we are lead to believe...in fact it ends rather badly for our heroes.
