remaking a classic - pack a lunch

Rating: Null/10 (20 March 2004)

Hey heres a tuff assignment - remake a classic film. Yeah, here you go take 30 mill go to canada and remake one of the best horror films of all time. You are going to have at least 10 times the money, 10 times the time, 10 times the people. Can you do it? Well probably not but hey don't feel bad. I wouldn't want to try and make a movie called Dawn of the Dead.
Im a huge fan of the original like lots of you are. I was 3 however when it came out so I wasnt at the theatre. So i was excited to go see this version. I didnt hate it like several of the people i went with
(i mean i'm a fan of dawn of the dead) thats the way it is. Its just funny that 25 years later with tons more money they can come up with so much less than the original. I guess they though they could just dial in the old trusty 90 degree and 45 degree shutter angle on their cameras and the story and details would compensate for itself. Thats about it I'm disappointed but not really cause the original is still there so whats there to get fired up about.
