Dawn of the Dead

This one has to go down as one of the best remakes ever. The filmmakers found the perfect balance between imitating the original and creating something new. This movie is intense. The zombies are fast, there is more action, and there are more initial survivors then the original (more victims) The gore is tone down a bit, but still not for the squeamish. The tone is a bit more serious then the original but there is still plenty of dark humor sprinkled throughout. Music aficionados should pay attention to the muzak system. The only knock against this is the lame "gotta have a sequel" epilogue that plays during the credits. Do yourself a favor and shut that DVD off once it fades to black.
