One of the best zombie movies ever

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2005)

Out of all the horror movies I have bought this year, dawn of the dead is by far my favorite. I don't know if you could really classify dawn of the dead as a straight up horror movie, because it isn't scary. It is more of a suspenseful action movie if anything. The the makeup for the zombie's in the movie are so believable. I watched the special features for the DVD and they used people with real hadicaps as the zombies without arms or legs. The camera work looks like it is done with a hand held camera, you it puts you right in the middle of the action. Their is also enough blood, gore, and violence to satisfy both action and horror fans. The movie also does a great job of how people can turn on each other so quickly in times of crisis. Overall, i give this movie a 9 1/2.
