Definitely "re-imaged" but a great "remake"

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2004)

I enjoyed this more than the original DOTD. My major gripes about this movie were the plotholes, the lack of character development (most of the time you had many characters you could care less about), and the running zombies. It just doesn't make sense. HOW do the dead RUN??? Instead of overanalyzing it, I sat back and enjoyed it on opening day. There were some humorous scenes (the infamous celebrity-look-alike zombie shooting spree scene, uhh hello, that did NOT look like Burt Reynolds!) and even scenes that made me cry- namely the scene between Lindy Booth & Matt Frewer (you'll know what I'm talking about if you saw it) and the part where Andy holds up the sign that says "Hungry" and you could see his ribs. Pathetic I know. I never thought *I* would cry at a horror movie.
In any case, the Richard Cheese version of "Down With The Sickness" was hilarious and a great cover, it wasn't as gory as the original but it was good. Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. I plan on going again.
I give it a 9/10.
