The right balance for a modern horror movie.

Rating: Null/10 (5 April 2004)

I have never been a fan of the serious horror movie. There is nothing in those movies that can break it up a little and achieve a little balance and reality. With the new Dawn of The Dead, the humour serves to remind us that even when death and destruction seems inevitable there can be some fun to be had. (Esp. love the scene of the movie-star looky likey turkey shoot - made me laugh out loud)
There have been some people who say the old ageist comments that only a young, MTV style generation can like this movie, and it is probably pitched at them anyway; but i think those views are getting a little old. anyone can like this movie if you just view it for what it is: pure entertainment at the movies. A little scary, humerous, and has a fairly decent direction. To be honest most types of horror have been done before anyway so you are scratching the bottom of the barrel for original ideas. this movie with its up-to-date slant makes it more interesting than the original. Die-hard classic horror fans wont like that but all i can say is: don't get stuck in the past!
All in all i thought this movie was well worth my Â£5 and I would see it again if i had nothing to do on a spare afternoon. 7.5/10.
