Something is missing.

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2004)

I've been reading a few of these reviews and noticed that most of them are comparisons between the new Dawn of the Dead and Romero's original. I have nothing against the new version. It was as good or better than most of the horror movies that seem to keep coming out these days. But something is missing. You see, what made the original 'Dead' movies so amazing to me was that there was so much more to them than brains and guts spattering everywhere (though lots of this too). They were as much a comment on society as they were anything else. Look at how much the characters changed while they were trapped inside the mall, and how easily their safe-world crashed down once the bikers came on the scene. I'm not ashamed to say that I came away from these movies actually thinking. But with the new 'Dawn of the Dead', I wasn't really left with anything at all.
