Weak horror movie and pointless remake

Rating: 3/10 (28 May 2005)

Where's the sense of inescapable doom that made the original DAWN OF THE DEAD so compelling and disturbing? Aren't all these people trapped in this mall just a little TOO chipper and chirpy considering the fact that the world is coming to an end around them--not to mention the little matter of the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ZOMBIES MILLING AROUND IN THE STREETS OUTSIDE WAITING TO EAT THEM???
And just how does a dead body, on instantaneous resurrection, start running around with the perfect physical coordination of an Olympic sprinter anyway? Maybe, just MAYBE, being dead meat and all, they MIGHT, y'know, stumble and shake and shuffle and twitch a little?
Weakly plotted, full of poorly written, unconvincing characters, and never a tenth as scary or as memorable as the original. Seen it once, don't need to see it again.
