A fun modern remake... not to be confused with the original classic

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2004)

Dawn of the Dead (2004) might not be in the same league as the original but then it isn't trying to be the same movie. The writers have successfully taken some of the original concepts and created a new movie from them.
I felt this version had a lot going for it. It had me on the edge of my seat for much of the movie. The suspense works well and the characters develop in ways you don't expect them too.
I also liked the fact that the zombies are much more mobile than in previous movies (more like 28 days later than the shambling creatures from earlier movies).
This makes for a lot more intense scenes especially when characters are being chased.
I can't help feeling that if this film was not a remake people would consider it a modern classic.
