Dawn of the Dead Remake - The Official Thread - Now with Unrated footage !!!

I was talking to a friend last night that doesn't like horror movies (after talking to him, I think he would have had nightmares for a week if he saw it) and he had a completly different idea of what the movie was like. He missed the preview on tv (he said they watched all of Final Destination, but they never showed it...which as we all know they did show it) and he was going to go see it based on the begining. Anyway, he thought that the "when hell is full the dead will walk on earth" line was really how the movie starts. He thought the movie would start in hell and you'd see that line play out with like the gates of hell opening on earth. I gave him the description of the intro and he was like "wow" and then wanted to know how it was going to end. I refused to tell him. I gave some parts out here and there, but I wanted to leave the ending unanswered so he might go see it during the week.

Saw this on Friday, loved it to death. Anyway...couple points you guys noted about the movie.

When they are on the docks, I dont think the zombies could get to them. However, they probably would have tried...

Secondly, a full propain tank would make an explosion if shot like that.

And thirdly...about Wisconsin. They are definetly in Southern Wisconsin. The radio broadcast at the beggining were awesome in that they did their homework and actually named off real places, like the river walk. So we can assume that they were in some Milwaukee suburb (plus, that is the only placei n WI with enough people for what was going on).

And are there islands off the coast here? Well, assuming the had a day to get there, and aimed up towards the north, there are enough islands that they could eventually find one. But really, I do not think that they are that far off the coast like in the movie.

A far better idea would have been to go to one of the inland lakes and and hang out on one of those islands. Even if they have zombies, they can only have so many of them on a tiny little island. Plus, you can get off if needed.

Oh, and Everett WI doesnt exist.

They need to make an MST3k style show where you watch the movie with black people. It can show them throwing stuff, and yelling, and answering thier cell phones.
MWN3k - Movies with niggas 3000!

I just saw this last night and LOVED it! I say bring on the fast zombies! I don't know why it wouldn't make sense that they are fast, basically they are running on pure animal instinct and respond as such. They see food and then they go after the food. Simple as that. I think they would have been better off staying in the mall...I mean wouldn't the zombies eventually rot? It takes like 2 weeks for a body to rot away to the bone right? They just wait until there are just skeletons and go out with the trucks when there were less of them. I thought the gore was awesome, I haven't seen a movie this gory since the 80s. The one dude with the prego zombie wife, I can see him going insane because he was just chilling all that time with his wife in that dark-ass room all tied up. I think that would make anybody insane. I liked the bleak ending and the shot of the zombie head in the cooler was fucking gross! I really enjoyed this movie and can't wait for the uncut DVD. On a side note...has anybody read these books?

I have The Book of the Dead and I am trying to get Still Dead from eBay. The Book of the Dead was a pretty good selection of zombie stories and even had zombie sex in it! (ewwww) :xx:

A body won't be totally decomposed in 2 weeks. There wil definatly be some serious rot, but a lot is still left "on the bone" so to speak. And that's underground too, not sure how quick a zombie would rot out in the open...a think buried bodies (in the dirt, no coffin) go quicker because of insects and stuff.

And how the hell did that head get in the cooler? I forgot all about that.

I'm not sure what the answer is but I'm willing to bet that it's a shit load longer than two weeks.

Well, looks like the zombies killed Jesus. Dawn made $27.3 mil this weekend while Passion made 19.

I'm not gonna get tired of making zombie/Jesus jokes this week.

Zombies vs Jesus :lol:

Good question about head in the cooler. Who cut it off and left it on the boat?

I also wonder how all of this started. Since you can ONLY get infected when you get bitten, how the first zombie/infected person came to be that way? The "When the Hell is Full" convention doesnt apply to this anymore, since unlike old films, only infected become zombies, and people who die naturaly or from other types of violence stay dead.

Mman, it was cool to see Zombie Violence on Milwaukee Public Bus System :lol: And the mall looked somewhat like Mayfair from outside, and like Brookfield inside.

I don't think I've seen a zombie movie where everyone who dies becomes a zombie. Except Thriller. But that's Michael Jackson.

Wow. How many people can say they knocked Jesus off the number one spot?
