A Very Addictive Movie

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2007)

I am a rabid fan of Zombie movies and I was waiting for the day a decent Zombie movie would come out that would be comparable to 28 Days Later. The remake of the original Dawn Of The Dead was done splendidly and is very scary. Scenes range from a quiet and calm morning turned chaotic to a dark and forlorn parking garage scene that chills to the bone.
The whole movie is an atmosphere of despair and the characters struggle to overcome the fact that life as they know it has ended. There are nay-sayers who state that the movie slows down and is boring in some instances and there may be some weight to that argument but during these times there are essential character developments that take place.
New technology allows the zombie scene's to take shape in a graphic and visceral form and the cinematography makes the movie move coherently and solidly. This movie is indeed very addictive and I do own it on DVD. When I watch this movie I can't help but think, what would I do if I was placed in there situation and would I be one of the one's who would journey to the island in hopes of somewhat of a life.
All in all zombie-movie fans finally have a new generation movie that uses all the elements of the original version and employs new methods that combined provide a very scary and awesome movie. I was so impressed with the way the plot was storyboarded and in my opinion there were no boring moments in this movie at all.
