Wow, was this a great surprise...

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2004)

Like most avid fans of the original Dead trilogy (especially Dawn), I was heartbroken when I saw they were remaking one of my all-time zombie favorites. However, when I saw the 2004 version on opening night I was in awe. Though it didn't capture the attack on consumerism of the original, the remake was astoundingly good. It contained the dark humor of the original trilogy, while having a surprising amount of gore for an R-rated movie. When I left the theater I was so happy that someone who obviously loved the original went to the lengths they did in making this film. Not only do we get a great cast, but cameos from 3 stars of the original.
All in all, a worthwhile and fun zombie movie. 4/4.
