If you want to watch a movie, wherein there are 20 characters too many, where zombies (who are suffering from rigor mortise by this point) sprint like Olympic champions, and where a main character risks her life and everyone else's for a dog.
That's right. A fucking dog.
AND then, to add onto the whole mess, the director had no idea what he was doing when he was given the rights to Dawn of the Dead. Firstly, he was being given the keys to one of the best satirical and black humor movies of all time. And he gives us an action flick. A lame action flick.
The only real thing to be interested in are the cameos by actors and crew from the original Dawn of the Dead. Tom Savini (make artist and a biker villain type person), who shows up as a marine on the T.V. Ken Foree (Peter), who shows up as a priest on the T.V and Scott Reinige (Rodger) who is a marine general on the T.V.
And needles to say, the Zombie Baby. Come on. There is a fucking zombie baby. What the HELL!
See, the reason why the original Dawn of the Dead worked so well is because the mall has a personality. You actually get to know it as a character. It has a character arc. The main characters come in through the roof. They scout the place out, then they raid a gun shop and systematically block off the doors and kill the zombies.
In the new Dawn of the Dead, they just kind of stumble into the mall. And it's like...whopdie doo. A Mall. Cool...right. Lets have some random action scenes.
In the original Dawn of the Dead, there were four characters. So, you know, they could actually be characters. Instead of, say, cardboard cutouts.
Gragh! The remake Dawn of the Dead makes me so angry. I microwaved the disk, then lit the box on fire after stabbing it with a switch blade. Then I put the ashes into a bag, threw the bad into a river and hurled the river into space.
That's how much I hate it.
If you want a really good movie, check out...pretty much anything by Monty Python.
