The Greatest horror Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2006)

2004's Dawn of the Dead is possibly the greatest horror movie ever. In 1968 indie filmmaker George A. Romero reinvented horror movies with the cult classic Night of the Living Dead. A few years later he brought the sequel Dawn of the Dead, still one of the highest grossing independent films ever. Director Zach Snyder keeps up the tradition with his 2004 remake of the classic. Snyder's simplistic idea of zombies running brought a whole new kind of terror to our generation. Instead of pussy-footing' around, this movie jumps straight into the action and oh is it sweet. This movie has possibly the greatest opening credits in movie history. The movie still has the same scenario of survivors trapped in a shopping mall which is surrounded by flesh-eating monsters. The actors performances allow you to get sucked into this movie all the sooner. I love everything about this movie, especially the color of this film. The makeup effects in this film are spectacular. The original theme of the film was about humans never being satisfied and the remake does keep this theme and also gives it an Alamo feel. Dawn of the Dead is non-stop horror action and truly gives justice to the original and should not be missed. I hope Zach Snyder is here to stay because he seems to be one of the few directors who knows what he is doing. If you only see one horror movie in your entire life make it this one. I give dawn of the dead 10 stars out of 10.
