Not so much a remake after all

Rating: Null/10 (25 March 2004)

My comment is two fold. First off: THIS IS NOT A REMAKE!!! I was a little dissapointed when I saw this film. There has been alot of hype about how this is the greatest remake ever and how there is great character development. I loved the original Dawn of the Dead even the thought of it makes me scared... I was very excited when I heard they were remaking it, I thought an updated version would be great. The only thing this movie has in common with the original is the mall and the zombies. The characters are completely different, there are a hell of alot more of them and the zombies are faster. Secondly: As a stand alone zombie movie I think this one was great. If it were sold as something other then Dawn of the Dead I would have loved it. It was scary and funny all at the same time- a great horror film!
All in all it was fun but remember you are not going to see a remake but another different zombie movie that takes place in a mall
