Zack Snyder is the sh......man, 22 March 2005
9/10
Author: composer_mike from Edoass

-I love the original DOD, it was a great horror movie that really took the zombie genre to the next level, now we have the remake and for some strange reason it doesn't suck. It's a lot of fun, exciting, and introduced me to a wonderful actress called Sarah Polley. Fans of the original DOD should write a thank you letter to Zack Snyder for making this a truly wonderful film

-The movie has a simple premise. zombies are present for some unknown reason and a few group of survivors have to rough it out in a mall. Whiles there several things happen and new characters are introduced. We meet an obnoxious guy who everyone feels like slapping, there's a love story going through, and they all begin to use the mall to it's full advantage. My favorite has to be the love story between Anna and Michael. I love romantic movies and even one in a gory zombie flick works well. There are several OMG moments in the film, and I guess the best one is the zombie baby waking up from the dead. The movie is graphic, not "Ppassion of the Christ" graphic but still pretty graphic, but the great thing is that the violence is done with a great sense of humor and not taken seriously. The celebrity zombie shooting is probably the best example of it.

-Zack Snyder has done the impossible and made a remake that doesn't suck, and for that he should be applauded. had a great time watching this movie and is looking forward for a sequel
