I find it humerous when people say things like the acting was horrible, or the situations were laughable. These people are missing the point that the movie is trying to make. And for people who say the effects looked fake, I... Full review

I loved the remake so much I had to see the original, and I was not disappointed at all. An older film and different pacing, the point was less about surviving and more about the human condition and views. The zombies... Full review

In 1978, director George A. Romero delivered to audiences the definitive horror/zombie experience with his cult classic/comic book styled romp Dawn of the Dead - a film that delivered all the shock and gore of a train wreck and combined it with strong social... ... Full Review

Halloween 2007 may have come and gone, but a horror film like Dawn of the Dead can be enjoyed anytime.
But whatever my feelings are about the rest of the series, none come close to achieving the level of greatness that Dawn of the Dead did.
