The dead stagger; the dead attack!

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2005)

Based somewhat on George A. Romero's DAWN of the DEAD(1978)and if you enjoyed 28 DAYS LATER(2002)you are probably a fright freak and will really enjoy this DAWN of the DEAD. Suburbia Milwaukee wakes to chaos running amok...neighborhood folks attacking one another, runaway police cars, unknowing military guarding what and the smell and sounds of gunfire. A deadly virus hangs heavy and the infected populace die and come back to life as zombies. A stranded policeman(Ving Rhames)and a small group of frightened souls seek shelter in a mall and are soon surrounded by the shuffling flesh eaters. It is discovered that the zombies can be killed with a direct gunshot to the head. So take your shot to make 'em drop. Bloodshed and gore galore. You may rethink Hell. DAWN of the DEAD as directed by Zack Snyder is viewer worthy. Also featured with Rhames are: Sarah Polley, Mekhi Phifer, Jake Weber and Matt Frewer.
