Great Zombie Action Film

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2004)

While it lacks the social commentary of the original, what it does pack is a king size action punch. This is a scare/shock fest from beginning to end and to that extent it's one of the best in years. While I do favor the original I honestly don't feel this can be considered a remake. Of the few similarities that both movies share, the shopping mall being the most obvious, they're quite actually very subtle. I understand that filming of a sequel is to begin shooting early next year. How you make a sequel to a remake is beyond me but if it's half as good as Dawn of the Dead 2004 then I shall be waiting in line at the theatre to see it. As a Zombie film collector (39 and still growing LOL), come October 5th, this film will make number 40.
