Film Review of Dawn of the Dead
Year: 2004 Reviewer: Chris Docker
Standard horror fare than transmutes Night of the Living Dead into a kind of big budget 28 Days Later as the zombies head for the mall with shopping the last thing on their minds. There are a reasonable amount of shocks, most of them in the first few minutes before the credits have finished, and then repeated in formulaic fashion with predictable regularity. Needless to say, if you have to pop out for more popcorn, you won't miss much you couldn't guess.
Standard horror fare, but fills the midnight movie gap well enough.
Takes itself a bit too seriously considering it has little new to offer other than reviving some snappy editing . . .
Rating: 5/10
