terribly mediocre zombie movie

Rating: 5/10 (19 March 2004)

Since i havent seen the original I have no comparative basis for which to base this review on. I can say what Dawn of the Dead was an OK zombie movie. If you are looking for a plot line, go somewhere else, because this movie offers none whatsoever. If you are bitten, you die, then become undead, simple as that. The opening scene was probably the best part of the movie, offering a very chilling experience. Unfortunately after the opening scene, the movie goes downhill and feels very drawn out with almost no action between the beggining and the end. The movie just feels overall like old material and cliche. If you have seen 28 days later, this movie doesnt seem very different. Overall I would give this movie a 5, maybe better because they shoot Burt Reynolds.
