Good Stand Alone Zombie Movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2004)

I went to see this movie on Friday night, I liked this movie. I tried not to get my hopes up too much because the original is such a great movie.
I think this movie was more of an action movie, where the original was more creepy because they built the characters more and there were less action sequences.
The new version was made more creepy for me, having it based in Wisconsin, hearing the Milwaukee Emergency Broadcast System, seeing Milwaukee Squad Cars, and the County Bus. Hearing that Miller Park is no longer safe. Living in Milwaukee all my life, having these points made it a little more realistic for me.
Also very cool were the cameos by some of the cast from the 1978 version of Dawn. Scott Reiniger (Roger/General), Ken Foree (Peter/Televangelist), and Tom Savini (Motorcycle Gang Member/Sheriff). Those were the three my friends and I spotted.
Anyway, all in all it was a good movie, but not in the same category as the first.
