Degrading to the original classic

Rating: 3/10 (27 September 2014)

The 1978 original Dawn of the Dead is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
This remake is honestly pathetic. CGI, bad modern soundtrack, terrible acting and an unoriginal plot make it one of the worst zombie films I've ever seen. Romero's zombie movies are always with an underlying message about society and they always capture the nostalgic music, fashion and phrases from the era they were made in. This lousy remake just piggybacked off the original and was impossible to take seriously. It wasn't scary, nor was it funny, just boring. The Pennsylvania shopping center in the original was located in the northeast United States, where as this remake takes place in the Midwest. Tons of horror films take place in the Midwest, and the scenery... well, this film had none at all.
I don't recommend this waste of space unless you're an avid zombie film fan and have already seen the classic originals.
