Death Comes Running...

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2020)

Ana (Sarah Polley) is a nurse who gets off after another long shift at the hospital. She's unaware that the world is changing in ways that will shatter everything she knows, believes, hopes, or dreams. The next morning, Ana faces this new reality, as her quiet suburban life evaporates before her eyes, never to return. Survival mode kicks in as Ana joins w/ others thrown into the same chaos. Something has caused the dead to rise, and they're hungry for warm-blooded flesh! The local mall becomes a fortress, where these people will take refuge and make their stand. DAWN OF THE DEAD is one of the best remakes ever filmed, as it not only ups the ante, but actually improves certain aspects of the original. The basic idea remains the same, but there are far fewer static moments, and barely time to breathe! This film is set up as if the end of all things has truly arrived. Romero's classic set the standard, and this version reinvents it. Fast, visceral, and ultimately bleak, this is the way to "reboot" a movie! Co-stars the mighty Ving Rhames as Kenneth...
