you get what you pay for

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2004)

Just seen dawn of the dead and would like to say i was very pleased with what i saw, i walked into the cinema not taking anything too serious or expecting a master piece, just some gore and violence satisfying fun.
This film gave me that and then some, the camera work and style of direction was superb, the humour dark and overall atmosphere of the film was very foreboding.
I especially liked the fact that the zombies could run (Like in 28days later) and didnt just shuffle along. (Lets face it, how could zombies take over the world if all you had to do was start a brisk walk to escape?)
The makeup is excellent, the acting wasnt as wooden as expected, and the cringe inducing action will keep u wondering how much further things can go. Its also amazing what you can do with a credit sequence these days :-)
