It scared me !!

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2004)

Good movie. Not the best but a enough to make me jump on my seat often enough. I think it's impossible to compare it to Romero's Dawn of the dead because his version and the new one fall in different categories.
It had to be more visual and have more plots because at the time, you didn't have that Surround Sound and state of the art FX. As most movies today, the sound as become important, more important sometimes than the dialogue. That would explain the many close ups of gun firing, door slamming, bombing, sounds of vehicles moving and other noises necessary to exploit the surround sound effects. Of course the plot is basic in many ways and is surely not very original but does not take away the claustrophobic effect and the fear among the protagonists. The main purpose of the movie is to scare us (mostly by sounds and surprising close ups) and it does right thru the end, as long as you play along with the characters and not spend your time thinking about the Romera version. One advice : don't leave the theater BEFORE the end of the credits.
