Finally, a remake done right.

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2007)

There have been countless remakes of great films over the years but none have been as good as the remake of Dawn of the Dead. The film keeps you entertained from beginning to end and just when you feel your heart rate slowing down it quickly speeds it back up to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
This Dawn is much different than George A. Romeros, it ups the action and intensity 20 times while not treading or belittling the original in anyway. It keeps the integrity and respect of the original film and does it's own thing. And it does it well. The first 15 minutes of this film have to be the most breath taking and spectacular 15 minutes for a zombie horror film ever made, and from that point forward you are hooked for the entire 2 hours.
I had the pleasure of seeing both the R-rated and Unrated versions and you can really see two completely different films between the 10 minutes of added footage. The Unrated cut ups the intensity and horror feel big time and with added scenes it gives the viewer a whole new creepiness not seen in modern zombie films.
Forget renting this film, it is must own for any DVD collection.
