Review: Dawn of the Dead

Dawn of the dead. Remaking the classic, was it a good or bad idea?

Well as far as movies go this is what I'd certainly refer to as a Hollywood block buster, but also a Hollywood failure. Rule one is, if a movie is often known and referred to as a classic, then never remake it with the expectations of being more successful.

With the moaning and groaning done, the movie itself is not as bad as I've just made out. It's a modern day zombie genre film where a select group of people have been unlucky enough to survive the introduction of a zombie pandemic. Their hideout being an American mall, whilst they collaborate their efforts to develop a plan. What happens now? Where do we go? How do we survive?

I think if there are to be highlights within Dawn of the Dead, then they would have to be the small slots of humor. Two good examples of the entertainment within this movie, are the mysterious sniper who exists above a gun shop, and shoots the zombies related to their familiarities to the now almost certainly dead famous stars of yesterday, and the zombie child that is born.

Dawn of the Dead, is quite a slow moving movie, but it does build its way up to a dramatic ending where the group, what's left of them, aim at trying to break out of the mall and traveling to a boat, with the hopes that they may set sail and escape the horrible wrath of zombies. What actually happens, I will leave a mystery, so if you do wish to watch Dawn of the Dead, then you will perhaps be surprised.
